Stein's paramelomys, Paramelomys steini, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae that is native to Indonesia. Official observation has come only from Wayland Mountain on the island of New Guinea, in Papua Province, and only in montane forests, the high-altitude forests of that mountain. It was previously classified as Paramelomys rubex before being recognised as a separate species, and compared with that animal it has a larger body but shorter and wider hind feet. The size of its population is not known. The GBIF backbone records it as an accepted species described by Rummler in 1935, and the IUCN rates it Data Deficient.
