Rothschild's cuscus, Phalanger rothschildi, also called the Obi Island cuscus, is a marsupial in the family Phalangeridae. It is endemic to the islands of Obi, Bisa and Obilatu in the Obi Islands of Maluku province, Indonesia. It is one of several Phalanger cuscuses confined to small island groups of the Maluku region, along with the Gebe cuscus, the blue-eyed cuscus and the ornate cuscus. Like the rest of its family it is expected to be a mostly nocturnal, tree-dwelling marsupial, but the article on the species is short and gives no figures for its size, diet or conservation status.
