The masked white-tailed rat (Uromys hadrourus) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae.

It is found only in Australia, in north-east Queensland.

Descriptive English common names for this species include Masked White-tailed Rat and Thornton Peak Uromys.

During the 1990s there was a push for such names to be replaced with indigenous Australian names, and accordingly, in 1995 the Australian Nature Conservation Agency published recommendations for the common names of rodents.

[2] However this recommendation was not prescriptive, and it remains to be seen to what extent it will be adopted.
