Oldham's leaf turtle (Cyclemys oldhamii), is a species of turtle in the family Geoemydidae.

It is found in Bangladesh, in the terai of India, in Myanmar, Thailand, W Borneo, Sumatra and Java. In addition, Cyclemys oldhami shanensis - sometimes considered a distinct species due to its shell pattern, oft described as looking similar to aged meat - occurs from central Myanmar to Thailand and Cambodia. The type locality was originally given as "Mergui and Siam", and restricted to Mergui by Smith (1931).

A case of hybridization between a male Cyclemys (oldhamii) shanensis and a female Chinese stripe-necked turtle has been described.^[2]
