The Tondano rat (Taeromys taerae) is a rodent in the family Muridae that is found only in Indonesia. It lives in the highlands of the northeastern peninsula of Sulawesi, where it has been recorded between roughly 600 and 800 metres above sea level, and its type locality is Lembean, near the town of Tondano, which gives the rat its common name. It is regarded as the northeastern highland relative of Taeromys hamatus, a species confined to the mountains of central Sulawesi, and the species was reviewed by the mammalogist Guy Musser in 1971. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility accepts the name Taeromys taerae and records a global IUCN Red List assessment of Least Concern for it. Few ecological details beyond its range and relationships are documented in the sources read.
