The crested gecko or eyelash gecko (Correlophus ciliatus) is a species of gecko native to southern New Caledonia, this species was thought extinct until it was rediscovered in 1994.

The species was first described in 1866 as Correlophus ciliatus by the French zoologist Alphone Guichenot but was later renamed Rhacodactylus ciliatus. Recent phylogenetic analysis indicates that R. ciliatus is not closely related to the other giant geckos, so it has been moved back to the genus Correlophus.

Crested geckos typically range from 15–25 cm in length, including 10–15 cm of tail length, among the most distinctive features of these geckos are the hair-like projections found above the eyes, which greatly resemble eyelashes.
