The Doi Suthep caecilian, Ichthyophis youngorum, is a species of amphibian in the Ichthyophiidae family. It is known only from 10 adult and 13 larval specimens collected in 1957 by Edward Harrison Taylor. They were collected in the rainforest of Doi Suthep, near Chiang Mai, in Thailand, in a small valley at 1,200 m (3,900 ft) above sea level.
