Conolophus marthae, also known commonly as the Galápagos pink land iguana, is a species of lizard of the family Iguanidae. This critically endangered iguana is native only to the Wolf Volcano in northern Isabela Island of the Galápagos Islands (Ecuador). It has a pink body with some dark stripes, prompting some to call it the pink iguana or the Galápagos rosy iguana. The species was first discovered in 1986, and in 2009 it was identified as a separate species, distinct from the Galápagos land iguana. The species C. marthae is the only example of ancient diversification in the genus Conolophus.
