Alopoglossus theodorusi is a species of lizard in the family Alopoglossidae. It is found in the eastern Guiana Shield, in French Guiana and northern Brazil (Amapá state).[1][2] The specific name honors the herpetologist Theodorus Willem van Lidth de Jeude.[1]

Alopoglossus theodorusi measures 34–60 cm (13.4–23.6 in) in snout–vent length (SVL). The tail in the holotype, an adult female, is 1.65 times SVL.[1]
