The Berbera gerbil (Gerbillus acticola) is a species of rodent in the subfamily Gerbillinae.

The long tail is sandy orange above and pale below, and has a narrow tuft of brown and white hairs at its tip.

It is generally similar in size and appearance to the greater Egyptian gerbil (Gerbillus pyramidum), but they have different geographical ranges.

It is known from three locations in Somaliland, at Berbera, where the type specimen was found, Bulhar and Burao.

With little information as to its occurrence, status, ecological requirements and the threats it faces, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as being "data deficient".
