Plestiodon coreensis, also known as Smith's skink, is a species of skink. It is endemic to North Korea.[1][2] It is only known from two localities in extreme northwestern North Korea, near the Chinese border, where it was last collected more than 80 years ago. It is a little known species occurring in an area that is difficult to survey.[1]
