Uromastyx ornata, commonly called the ornate mastigure, is a species of lizard in the family Agamidae.

The subspecific name, philbyi, is in honor of British Arabist Harry St. John Bridger Philby.

It can be found on rocky areas in Egypt,[5] Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen.

[6] They, like most other members of their genus, are primarily herbivorous, though sometimes taking insects in the case of several species as well as various individuals.

U. ornata is considered Least Concern by the IUCN,[1] but rated as EN (B,C2a) according to "Endangered species in Israel, the red list of threatened animals".
