The three-toed earless skink, Hemiergis decresiensis, is a viviparous earless skink from southeastern Australia. It is common in swamp gum forest.
It is a burrowing species characterised by a very elongated body, small limbs, and a long tail. It has only three small toes on each limb. It lays several oval-shaped eggs that hatch only a few days later.
