Dollman's vlei rat (Otomys dollmani) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae that is found only in Kenya. Edmund Heller described it in 1912 and it sits in the genus Otomys, the vlei rats. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland and swamps, and the article says it is threatened by habitat loss. Its standing as a separate species is not settled: the article notes that some authorities, including the IUCN, regard it as a synonym of Otomys tropicalis, and its infobox carries no conservation category of its own.
