Microlophus barringtonensis or the Santa Fe lava lizard is a species of lava lizard or a population of Microlophus albemarlensis. It inhabits Santa Fe island in the Galápogos.[1] It is the only lava lizard on Santa Fe.[2] It is extremely common.[3]
Etymology
barringtonensis refers to its range in Santa Fe island, formerly named Barrington Island.[2]

It is debated whether the species is a population or not. Authors have claimed that the population is an entire other species along with M. jacobi and M. indefatigabilis. This view is not widely accepted.[4]
