Sagola thorpei is a species of rove beetle belonging to the family Staphylinidae.

[1] The species was first described by Jong-Seok Park and Christopher E. Carlton in 2014, and is endemic to New Zealand.

The species was identified by Slovakian entomologist Jong-Seok Park and Christopher E. Carlton in 2014, based on a holotype collected by John Early and Stephen E. Thorpe in November 1999 from Cuvier Island.

It can be distinguished from other members of Sagola due to having antennomeres 1 and 4 elongated (three times longer than side), well-developed hind wings and a unique genitalia shape.
