Mann's dwarf gecko (Lygodactylus manni) is a species of gecko, a lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is native to East Africa.

Etymology[edit]

L. manni is found in southwestern Kenya and northern Tanzania.^[2]

The preferred natural habitat of L. manni is savanna, at altitudes of 1,000–1,800 m (3,300–5,900 ft).^[1]
