The ear-spot squirrel, Callosciurus adamsi, is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae that is endemic to Borneo, where it occurs in both Indonesia and Malaysia. It is diurnal and active mainly in small trees. It closely resembles the plantain squirrel, Callosciurus notatus, but is smaller and has a distinct pale buffy patch behind each ear, which gives the species its name. It was described by Cecil Boden Kloss in 1921, and the IUCN Red List assesses it as Near Threatened.
