Lemur tikus adalah jenis lemur nokturnal dalam genus Microcebus yang berasal dari Madagaskar.^[4]

Lemur tikus memiliki panjang gabungan ekor, badan dan kepala yaitu 20–30 sentimeter (7,9–11,8 in), dengan bobot 30–65 gram (1,1–2,3 oz),^[5] menjadikannya sebagai jenis primata terkecil^[6] (spesies yang paling kecil adalah lemur tikus Madame Berthe); namun, bobot mereka berubah mengikuti durasi siang hari.^[7] Lemur dan lemur tikus diumumkan oleh IUCN sebagai jenis vertebrata yang paling terancam. Pada 1992, hanya dua spesies lemur tikus yang diketahui, tetapi pada 2016, terdapat 24 spesies.^[8] Diperkirakan bahwa semua spesies lemur tikus tersebut berevolusi dari satu moyang bersama 18-11 juta tahun lalu.^[9] Mereka dapat hidup hingga 18 tahun di penangkaran.^[10] Masa kehamilan mereka sekitar 2 bulan.^[10] Keseluruhan populasi dari hewan ini masih belum diketahui.^[10]
