Paroedura vahiny is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae. This nocturnal species is terrestrial and can be found on the ground or climbing onto vegetation. It is endemic to southwest Madagascar, where it is found in deciduous dry forests.

The species was first described in 2000 from specimens collected in 1996, though an additional specimen collected in 1969 was later concluded to also represent this P. vahiny. It is a small reptile, measuring only 4.2 cm (1.7 in) in snout–vent length.
