Uropeltis rajendrani, commonly known as the Rajendran's shieldtail, is a species of snake belonging to the family Uropeltidae.

This recently described species is known only from a few hills in the southern Eastern Ghats, in Namakkal and the bordering Salem district of Tamil Nadu State in South India.

[1] U. rajendrani is named in honour of Dr. Maria Viswasam Rajendran (2 November 1916–6 August 1993), "MVR" for short, for his exhaustive studies on shieldtail snakes in Tamil Nadu.

[2] U. rajendrani is a species of Uropeltis from the Kolli Hill complex, characterized by having the following combination of characters: (1) caudal shield truncate, with a distinct thickened circumscribed concave disc; (2) part of rostral visible from above not distinctly longer than its distance from frontal; (3) rostral scale partially separating nasal scales; (4) snout obtusely rounded; (5) eye diameter 3/4th that of ocular shield; (6) dorsal scale rows 16–17:16–17:15–16; (7) ventral scales 145–158; (8) subcaudal scales 8–11 pairs; (9) dorsum deep brown, unpatterned, anteriorly with a few yellow speckles; (10) venter yellow, each scale edged with brown.

[2] U. rajendrani is a fossorial snake, that is mostly nocturnal, feeding presumably on soft-bodied worms.
