Tytthoscincus martae, the Hindu temple forest skink, is a species of skink. It is endemic to Malaysia.[1]

Its common name refers to a Hindu temple 1.2 km south of Fraser's Hill. The species name 'martae' honours American herpetologist Marta S. Grismer for her fieldwork in Southeast Asia and Latin America and work generating morphological datasets.[1]
