Anolis roquet, also called Martinique anole, Martinique's anole, or savannah anole, is a species of anole lizard. It is endemic to the island of Martinique, located in the Caribbean Lesser Antilles.
It varies in body size, shape, scalation, and coloration. Its dorsal surface ranges from green to gray-green, brown, or gray brown, with some populations also having areas of blue-green color. Its ventral and dewlap colors also vary. Its markings include dark marbling, spots, and chevrons; and light markings including flank stripes.
It is unusual among anoles in having a voice; it can make a squeaking noise when it is caught.
The subspecies are:
Anolis roquet roquet (Lacépède, 1788)
Anolis roquet caracoli Lazell, 1972
Anolis roquet majolgris Lazell, 1972
Anolis roquet salinei Lazell, 1972

The Barbados anole (A. extremus) was formerly included here as another subspecies.
