Anolis pseudokemptoni is a species of lizard in the family Dactyloidae. It is a moderately-sized anole, growing to a maximum snout–vent length of 55 mm (2.2 in). It has a slender body and short legs. Both males and females have dewlaps. Males have larger tricolored red, orange, and tan-brown dewlaps, while females have smaller dewlaps that are most often yellow, but that can range from white to orange in color. The body is golden-yellow to brown above and dirty-white below. The anole is endemic to an extremely small portion of the central Serranía de Tabasará mountain range in the Ngäbe-Buglé Comarca of Panama. It is found at elevations of 1,130–2,010 m (3,710–6,590 ft). It has been suggested that it be classified as being critically endangered on the basis of its extremely small range and ongoing deforestation in the Serranía de Tabasará.
