The Central Cordillera brush mouse (Coccymys shawmayeri) is a rodent in the family Muridae native to New Guinea. It was first described by Hinton in 1943 as Rattus shawmayeri from a specimen collected at Baiyanka on the Purari-Ramu divide in the Eastern Highlands of northeastern Papua New Guinea, at about 2,438 metres, and it was later placed in the genus Coccymys. Its range is recorded in Papua New Guinea, and it was recognised as a species separate from Coccymys ruemmleri in a 2009 revision of New Guinea Coccymys. The Mammal Diversity Database lists it as living and gives its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern.
