The Sierra Madre forest mouse (Apomys sierrae) is a forest mouse, a rodent of the family Muridae, endemic to the Sierra Madre Range of eastern Luzon in the Philippines. It is a member of the genus Apomys, whose species live only in the Philippines, and the Mammal Diversity Database places it in the subgenus Megapomys and the Indomalaya realm, listing North Sierra Madre forest mouse and Sierra Apomys as other common names. It was described in 2011 by Lawrence Heaney and colleagues from a holotype collected in Cagayan Province, 3.5 kilometres south-west of Mount Cetaceo peak at about 1,400 metres. The Mammal Diversity Database lists it as a recently described living species with an IUCN Red List status of Least Concern.
