Calotes nigrilabris, the black-cheek lizard, is an agamid species endemic to Sri Lanka.

This species is tolerably common at localities such as Nuwara Eliya, Pattipola, Ohiya, Horton Plains, and Adam's Peak Head is one and a half times width.

Dorsum is green unpatterned or with black edged, cream transverse bars or eye-like spots.

This species is largely arboreal,[2] inhabiting tree trunks, hedges, and shrubs, where it hunts for insects and worms by day.

In Horton Plains C. nigrilabris can be found residing on the gorse bushes (Ulex europeus) and Rhododendron leaves to hunt the insect prey (particularly bees) that gets attracted to the flowers.
