Uropeltis rubrolineata is a species of nonvenomous shieldtail snake in the family Uropeltidae.

[3] U. rubrolineata is found in southern India in the Western Ghats: south of the Palghat to Bhimshankar and in the Anaimalai and Travancore Hills.

[2] The preferred natural habitat of U. rubrolineata is forest, at altitudes of 400–1,500 m (1,300–4,900 ft), but it has also been found in coconut plantations.

It has a bright red stripe along each side, usually about 2½ scales rows wide, beginning on the labials (both upper and lower).

The eye is small, its diameter slightly less than half the length of the ocular shield.
