The spotted ground gecko or Japanese cave gecko (Goniurosaurus orientalis) is a gecko endemic to the Ryukyu Islands, Japan. Goniurosaurus orientalis is found in four small islands in the Okinawa group: Tonaki Island, Tokashiki Island, Ie Island, and Aka Island.

This particular species grows up to 16 cm and it has deep red eyes. Its basic color is dark brown or black with an orange or red pattern.

As with other geckos from the family Eublepharidae, they have fully functional eyelids.
