The Madagascan pygmy shrew (Suncus madagascariensis ) is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is the only known Malagasy shrew.
It is thought to be more common in the less humid western and southern parts of Madagascar. This shrew may also be present on Socotra. The species is found primarily in forests.
It is presumed to be solitary, nocturnal and insectivorous, like its relatives. The litter size is one or two. It is threatened by logging and other forms of deforestation.
