Strophurus taenicauda, also known commonly as the golden spiny-tailed gecko or the golden-tailed gecko, is a species of lizard in the family Diplodactylidae.

S. taenicauda is found in New South Wales and Queensland, Australia.

[2] The preferred habitats of S. taenicauda are forest and shrubland.

[1] The golden-tailed gecko can produce a spray of foul-smelling liquid from its tail as an anti-predator adaptation.

[2] Nota bene: A trinomial authority in parentheses indicates that the subspecies was originally described in a genus other than Strophurus.
