Randrianasolo's sportive lemur (Lepilemur randrianasoloi), or the Bemaraha sportive lemur, is a sportive lemur endemic to Madagascar. It has a total length of about 49 to 56 cm (19 to 22 in), of which 21–26 cm (8.3–10.2 in) are tail.[4] Randrianasolo's sportive lemur is found in western Madagascar.[4]

Originally named L. randriansoli, the name was found to be incorrectly formed and was corrected to L. randrianasoloi in 2009.[5] This species's original 2006 description was entirely online, and therefore did not meet the ICZN standards to be a valid name. It was given a formal described in 2017.[3]
