Hoogerwerf's rat (Rattus hoogerwerfi) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is named after the zoologist Andries Hoogerwerf and is found only in western Sumatra, Indonesia, including Mount Leuser, where it occurs only above 2000 metres. The species is known from few museum specimens. Genetic analysis indicates that its closest relative is Rattus korinchi, another Sumatran mountain rat, from which it diverged around 1.4 million years ago. Its range is therefore limited to the mountains of western Sumatra.
