The Adelaide Pigmy Blue-tongue Skink or Pygmy Bluetongue (Tiliqua adelaidensis) is a species of skink in the Scincidae family. It is found only in Australia. It was for a time believed to be extinct. A small population is found outside Adelaide, but it is extremely vulnerable, given its small population and limited living area.
