The Iberian ribbed newt or Spanish ribbed newt (Pleurodeles waltl) is a newt endemic to the central and southern Iberian Peninsula and Morocco. It is the largest European newt species and it is also known for its sharp ribs which can puncture through its sides, and as such is also called the sharp-ribbed newt or sharp-ribbed salamander. This species should not be confused with the different species with similar common name, the Iberian newt (Lissotriton boscai).
