The Ward's red-backed vole (Eothenomys wardi) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in China , specifically the north-western area of Yunnan Province. It is sometimes considered a subspecies of Eothenomys chinensis, but most zoologists consider it to be a separate species due to the noticeably shorter tail and hind feet.
