The lesser pygmy flying squirrel, Petaurillus emiliae, is a species of rodent in the squirrel family Sciuridae that is endemic to Borneo. It is known from very few records: the type specimen collected in 1901 in Sarawak, Malaysia, and a second specimen collected in 2013 in the Labanan Research Forest in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. It is arboreal and probably prefers forest. It is threatened by the conversion of its habitat to agriculture and by logging, and there are no conservation measures in place. Further studies are needed into its taxonomy, distribution, abundance, reproduction and ecology.
