The eastern three-lined skink (Bassiana duperreyi ), also known as the bold-striped cool-skink, is a species of skink in the Scincidae family. It is found in south-eastern Australia (New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria), and several islands. It is strongly striped, oviparous, and usually found in coastal heaths and warm, sunny areas.
The specific name, duperreyi, is in honor of French naval officer Louis Isidore Duperrey.
