Listeria thailandensis is a species of bacteria. It is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacillus. It is non-pathogenic and non-hemolytic. It was isolated from a fried chicken sample from Thailand. The species was first proposed in 2019, and the species name refers to the country from which it was first isolated.[1]

The optimum growth temperature for L. thailandensis is 30-37 °C; it can grow in the 22-42 °C range.[1]
