Pachydactylus is a genus of arboreal insectivorous gecko found primarily in Africa, commonly known as Thick-toed Gecko.
The genus is characterised by dilated toe tips, usually with undivided scansors. Body scales are small, granular and non-overlapping, with scattered, large keeled tubercles. Most if not all are nocturnal. They live in a diverse range of habitats and feed mainly on arthropods. The range of this genus is centred on Southern Africa, some reaching East Africa, the northernmost limit of their distribution.
