Fleurette's sportive lemur (Lepilemur fleuretae), also called the Andohahela sportive lemur, is a nocturnal, solitary and largely leaf-eating sportive lemur of extreme southeastern Madagascar. It lives in lowland rainforest in Andohahela National Park, the Tsitongambarika Protected Area and surrounding forest patches, in an estimated range of 2,532 square kilometres. It is predominantly gray on the back, weighs 800 to 980 g and measures 51 to 56 cm in total length. Sixty-five percent of its diet is leaves and the rest is fruit and flowers. It has been listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List since 2020, mainly because of habitat loss.
