The Indian palm squirrel (Funambulus palmarum) also known as three-striped palm squirrel, is a species of rodent in the Sciuridae family that can be easily domesticated and kept as a pet. It is found naturally in India (south of the Vindhyas) and Sri Lanka. In the late 19th century, the Palm squirrel was introduced into Western Australia, where it has since become a minor pest that is actively targeted for eradication due to its lack of natural predators. The closely related five-striped palm squirrel Funambulus pennantii is found in northern India, and its range partly overlaps with this species.
