'''''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.
Anolis roquet shows differences in color and body shape across Martinique, depending on where it lives, which reflects adaptation to local environments and some separation between populations. 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.<ref>For description of variability, see {{cite book |last1=Malhotra |first1=Anita |last2=Thorpe |first2=Roger S. |title=Reptiles & Amphibians of the Eastern Caribbean |publisher=Macmillan Education Ltd. |year=1999 |isbn=0-333-69141-5 |pages=89–91}}</ref>
It is unusual among anoles in having a voice; it can make a squeaking noise when it is caught.<ref>{{harvnb|Malhotra|Thorpe|1999|p=91}}.</ref>
