A. Allen, 1890 The gray-collared chipmunk (Neotamias cinereicollis) is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae.

The forehead is greyish-brown and the side of the head bears three dark stripes, the central one of which passes through the eye.

The gray-collared chipmunk is found in ponderosa pine and spruce-fir forests, often up to the timberline.

It is commonest where pine and Douglas fir intermix, and is also found in oak and juniper forests.

The gray-collared chipmunk sometimes hibernates in winter but at other times is active, even in snowy conditions.

This is because within its range it is common, it faces no major threats and its population size appears to be steady.
