Leaf-toed gecko is a common name for some species and genera of gecko and refers to a divided, expanded adhesive pad at the distal end of the toe, resembling a ginkgo leaf. Members of the following genera are commonly called "leaf-toed" geckos:

  • American leaf-toed geckos, Phyllodactylus, a genus whose name is literally "leaf-toed"
  • Indochinese leaf-toed geckos, Dixonius
  • Madagascar leaf-toed geckos, Ebenavia and Paroedura
  • Southwest Asian leaf-toed geckos, Asaccus
  • European leaf-toed gecko, Euleptes europaea
  • Fan-footed geckos, Ptyodactylus
  • Dwarf leaf-toed geckos, Goggia
  • Péringuey's Coastal Leaf-toed Gecko (Cryptactites peringueyi)[1], South Africa
  • The family Phyllodactylidae is also referred to as the "leaf-toed geckos" even though not all members of the family share this unique adaptation.
