Scincella vandenburghi (Korean skink, Tsushima ground skink or Tsushima smooth skink) is a species of skink on the Korean peninsula and Tsushima Island. It might be a synonym of Scincella modesta. It is named after John Van Denburgh, curator of herpetology at the California Academy of Sciences.
This species inhabits temperate forests where it can be found on the forest floor. It is oviparous, laying one to nine eggs in early summer.
