Cnemaspis is a genus of diurnal (day) geckos, lizards in the family Gekkonidae. The genus is native to Asia. With over 100 species, it is one of the most diverse genera of geckos. Molecular phylogenies suggest that the two regional groupings may form distinct clades which are not each other's closest relatives.

Cnemaspis is a genus of diurnal (day) geckos, lizards in the family Gekkonidae. The genus is native to Asia. With over 100 species, it is one of the most diverse genera of geckos. Molecular phylogenies suggest that the two regional groupings may form distinct clades which are not each other's closest relatives.
==Description== Species in the genus Cnemaspis have slender, clawed digits which are cylindrical or depressed at the base (rarely dilated); the distal phalanges are compressed, forming an angle with the basal portion of the digits, the lower surface of which has a row of plates. Their bodies are more or less depressed, granular or tubercular above. The tail is not compressed. The pupil is circular, and the eyelid is distinct all round the eye. Males may or may not have pre-anal or femoral pores.
