Parsigecko is a monotypic genus of lizards in the family Gekkonidae. It contains one species, Parsigecko ziaiei, known as '''Ziaie's Pars-gecko'. It is found in southern Iran.
==Description== The adult, gravid female holotype had a snout-to-vent length of with a slender body across, and an elongated snout. The tail was broken but regenerated, longer than the body, with smooth dorsal caudal scales and two strongly keeled scales on the sides of each annulus. The precloacal area was covered with enlarged, elongated scales arranged in a single arch-shaped row, presumably carrying precloacal pores in males.
