The gray-tailed narrow-headed rat (Stenocephalemys griseicauda) is a rodent in the family Muridae, the large family of Old World rats and mice, and is found only in Ethiopia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, subtropical or tropical high-elevation shrubland and subtropical or tropical high-elevation grassland, so it is a species of the Ethiopian highlands. It is threatened by habitat loss. The article on it cites the IUCN Red List assessment of the species by Lavrenchenko and Corti, as well as the Musser and Carleton treatment of the superfamily Muroidea in Mammal Species of the World. Little else is recorded about its appearance or biology in that article.
