Schmidt's helmet skink (Tribolonotus schmidti), also known commonly as Schmidt's crocodile skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae.

[2] The specific name, schmidti, is in honor of American herpetologist Karl Patterson Schmidt.

[3] The preferred natural habitat of T. schmidti is forest, at altitudes from sea level to 1,500 m (4,900 ft).

It has two rows of enlarged plate-like dorsal scales running down the center of the back.

Each row contains more than 20 scales from the back of the head to the beginning of the tail.
