Subspecies (table format)
Pacific basin subspecies of Oncorhynchus mykiss are listed below as described by Behnke (2002)

Subspecies (current format)
North American subspecies of Oncorhynchus mykiss are listed below as described by Behnke (2002)
 * Type species
 * Kamchatkan rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss mykiss (Walbaum, 1792)
 * Coastal rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus (Gibbons, 1855)
 * Anadromous forms known as steelhead, freshwater forms known as rainbow trout
 * Beardslee trout, isolated in Lake Crescent (Washington), Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus var. beardsleei (not a true subspecies, but a genetically unique lake-dwelling variety of coastal rainbow trout) (Jordan, 1896)
 * Redband forms
 * Columbia River redband trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri (Richardson, 1836)
 * Anadromous forms known as redband steehead
 * Athabasca rainbow trout, Oncorhunchus mykiss spp, consider by Behnke as form of Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri, but considered a separate subspecies by biologist L. M. Carl of the Ontario Ministry of Resources, Aquatic Ecosystems Research Section and associates from work published in 1994.
 * McCloud River redband, Oncorhynchus mykiss stonei
 * Sheepheaven Creek redband, Oncorhynchus mykiss spp.
 * Great Basin redband trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss newberrii (Girard, 1859)
 * Eagle Lake trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss aquilarum (Snyder, 1917)
 * Kamloops rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss kamloops strain (Jordan, 1892)
 * Kern River golden trout
 * Golden trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss aguabonita (Jordan, 1892)
 * Kern River rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss gilberti (Jordan, 1894)
 * Little Kern golden trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss whitei (Evermann, 1906)
 * Mexico forms
 * Mexico rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss nelsoni, sometimes referred to as Nelson's trout, occur in three distinct groups.
 * Rio Yaqui, Rio Mayo and Guzman trout
 * Rio San Lorenzo and Arroyo la Sidra trout
 * Rio del Presidio trout
 * Mutated forms
 * So-called golden rainbow trout or palomino trout are bred from a single mutated color variant of Oncorhynchus mykiss which originated in a West Virginia fish hatchery in 1955. Golden rainbow trout are predominantly yellowish, lacking the typical green field and black spots, but retaining the diffuse red stripe. The palomino trout is a mix of golden and common rainbow trout, resulting in an intermediate color. The golden rainbow trout should not be confused with the naturally occurring Oncorhynchus mykiss aguabonita, the Kern river golden trout of California.
