Murray's house gecko (Hemidactylus murrayi) is a species of gecko. It is found in western India , Myanmar, and Malaysia. It was previously considered conspecific with Hemidactylus brookii but revalidated by Lajmi and colleagues in 2016. Its status remains unclear because the types are lost.[1]

The specific name murrayi honours James A. Murray, a British zoologist.[1]
