Chrysiptera springeri is a species of damselfish known by the common name Springer's demoiselle. It is native to the western Pacific Ocean, where it occurs in the tropical waters of Indonesia and the Philippines. It reaches 5.5 centimeters in length and is variable in color.[1] The specific name honours the ichthyologist Victor G. Springer who collected the type in the Moluccas.[2]
