The Gotel Mountain soft-furred mouse, Praomys obscurus, also called the Gotel Mountain praomys, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae that is endemic to the Gotel Mountains in southeastern Nigeria. It occurs at elevations of 1,600 to 2,400 metres above sea level in fern-grassland, montane forest, forest along streams, gallery forest and swamp forest. The species is threatened by habitat loss through deforestation, presumably caused by logging and by the conversion of land to agricultural and other uses, and the species is known only from this one mountain range.
