The New Britain water rat (Hydromys neobritannicus) is a semiaquatic rodent in the family Muridae. It was described by George Tate and Richard Archbold in 1935 and belongs to the genus Hydromys. It is found only on the island of New Britain in Papua New Guinea, so its whole known range is a single island. The article names loss of habitat as a threat. The IUCN Red List lists the species as Data Deficient, which reflects how little information exists about its numbers and way of life.
