The Sequoyah slimy salamander (Plethodon sequoyah) is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae.
It is endemic to the Ouachita Mountains in the United States , where it is only known from Beavers Bend State Park in Oklahoma (although specimens possibly from the same species have been taken from outside the park) as well as a small portion of extreme southwestern Arkansas. There is some doubt as to whether it is distinct from the northern slimy salamander (P. glutinosus). Its natural habitat is temperate forests.[2][3][4]
