Chalcides ebneri, or Ebner's Skink, is a species of skink that lives in Morocco. It is only found in two small locations and has not been sighted since 1970. It is threatened by some agricultural practices and habitat loss, and populations presumably continue to decline. It is found in rocky areas near grassy ground cover. The females of the species give birth to live young.
