Anolis smallwoodi, the green-blotched giant anole or Smallwood's anole, is a species of lizard in the family Dactyloidae. The species is found in Cuba. ^[2]

Anolis smallwoodi lives in dry forest and coastal scrub habitats in Cuba, where it perches on tree trunks and branches. It belongs to the trunk-crown ecomorph group of Cuban anoles, and recent studies suggest that climate change may alter its range and thermal niche across the island. . ^{[3] [4] [5]}
