The Luzon Cordillera hairy-tailed rat, also known as the Luzon Batomys, Luzon forest rat or Luzon hairy-tailed rat (Batomys grantii), is one of five species of rodent in the genus Batomys, in the diverse family Muridae. It is endemic to the Philippines, and most populations occur on Mount Data, one of several mountains in the Cordillera region of northern Luzon. It was among the first members of its genus to be identified and described, the other early one being Batomys dentatus. Information on the genus then stayed scant for about 75 years, until animals collected on Mount Isarog in 1988 were described as Batomys uragon in 2015. The species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
