Ceriagrion mourae is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae endemic to eastern Sub-Saharan Africa, most commonly in Mozambique and Tanzania. Being a relatively uncommon sub-species of dragonflies, it is largely unknown to anyone beyond animal conservatives and researchers. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and freshwater marshes.
