Stenodactylus doriae, commonly known as the Middle Eastern short-fingered gecko or Doria's comb-fingered gecko, is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae.
The specific name, doriae, is in honor of Italian naturalist Giacomo Doria.
S. doriae occurs in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Jordan, and Kuwait.
This gecko reaches about 8.3 centimetres (3.3 in) in snout-to-vent length (SVL). Its eyes are bordered by large scales to protect them from the sand during burrowing.
