Nessia gansi, also known commonly as Gans's three-toed snake skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae.

N. gansi is restricted to low-land wet zones up to 100 m (330 ft).

[citation needed] N. gansi prefers damp forests or home gardens.

In home gardens, it is found in loose soil, in leaf debris, close to rubbish heaps.

[2] The specific name, gansi, is in honour of American herpetologist Carl Gans.
