Smith's dwarf chameleon or the Elandsberg dwarf chameleon, Bradypodion taeniabronchum, is an endangered species of lizard in the family Chamaeleonidae endemic to South Africa. It uses its color-changing ability to camouflage itself; contrary to popular belief, it is one of the few chameleons that uses its colour-changing ability for this reason.
