The tropical pocket gopher (Geomys tropicalis) is a species of rodent in the family Geomyidae.

The tropical pocket gopher is cinnamon to brown on its back and head.

They have large front feet, along with small eyes and a thick body.

[3] The distribution of the tropical pocket gopher is restricted to a small area of the Veracruz moist forests, near the southeastern corner of Tamaulipas, Mexico.

Since their numbers are low there is a high risk of them losing too much genetic variability to survive.
