The checkerboard worm lizard (Trogonophis wiegmanni) is a species of amphisbaenian in the family Trogonophidae.

[5] Trogonophis wiegmanni is commonly known in English as "Wiegmann's worm lizard"[5] or the "checkerboard worm lizard", in French as "Trogonophis ", and in German as "Schachbrett-Doppelschleiche "[1] or "Wiegmanns Spitzschwanz Doppelschleiche ".

T. wiegmanni is native to northern Algeria, western Morocco, the Chafarinas Islands of Spain, and northwestern Tunisia.

Individuals of the same sex in this species are never found together under the same rock indicating intrasexual intolerance.
