The Mount Claro Rock-wallaby (Petrogale sharmani), also known as Sharman's Rock-wallaby, is a species of rock-wallaby found in northeastern Queensland, Australia. It is a member of a group of seven very closely related species also including Godman's Rock-wallaby (P. godmani) and Herbert's Rock-wallaby (P. herberti).
