Anolis cuprinus, also known commonly as the copper anole, the Chiapas anole, and el abaniquillo de Chiapas in Spanish, is a species of lizard in the family Dactyloidae.

A. cuprinus is found in southeastern Mexico, in the Mexican states of Chiapas and Oaxaca.

[2] The preferred natural habitat of A. cuprinus is montane cloud forest, but the species has also been found in coffee plantations.

The interparietal scale is distinctly smaller than the ear opening.

[2] The synonym, A. breedlovei, was named in honor of American botanist Dennis Eugene Breedlove.
