Gronovi's dwarf burrowing skink (Scelotes gronovii ) is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to South Africa.
Both the specific name, gronovii, and the common name are in honor of Dutch naturalist Laurens Theodorus Gronovius.
S. gronovii has no front legs, and each back leg has only one toe. The snout-to-vent length (SVL) of adults is usually 5–6 cm (2.0–2.4 in), and the maximum recorded SVL is 7 cm (2.8 in).
S. gronovii is viviparous. A litter consists of one or two newborns, each of which has a total length (including tail) of 4–5 cm (1.6–2.0 in).
