The Banahao shrew-rat, Rhynchomys banahao, is a species of rodent in the genus Rhynchomys. It was described in 2007 by Balete, Rickart, Rosell-Ambal, Jansa and Heaney in the Journal of Mammalogy, in a paper describing two new species of Rhynchomys from Luzon Island, Philippines. Its type locality is Mount Banahaw in Quezon Province on Luzon, and the Mammal Diversity Database, which calls it the Mount Banahaw shrew rat, lists the Philippines as its country of distribution in the Indomalayan realm. The same database places it in the family Muridae, subfamily Murinae and tribe Hydromyini, notes that it was recently described, and records its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern.
