Bavayia, or partie geckos, are a genus of geckos from the remote New Caledonia and Loyalty Islands. These 13 species are moderately small to medium-sized geckos and are distinguished from other genera by their tail length and the shape of their digits.

The common name "partie gecko" is French for "party gecko" and stems from the highly social behavior of the members of this genus.

The generic name, Bavayia, is in honor of Arthur Bavay, a French pharmacist and herpetologist.

All species have elongated digits, each claw on the edge of each seta. They are fairly drab in coloration.

They are nocturnal, and spend the daylight hours hiding under bark or rocks, or in tree holes.
