Godman's rock-wallaby (Petrogale godmani) is a diprotodont marsupial, and a rather typical rock-wallaby. It is found in northern and north-eastern Queensland, Australia. This rock-wallaby is found in low open forest, open scrub, or montane regions, often near the coast. It shelters in rocky terrain adjacent to feeding areas. Godman's rock-wallaby is a nocturnal gregarious territorial folivore.
