The Haly's tree skink (Dasia haliana) is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is native to Sri Lanka. Earlier thought to be found also in the Western Ghats, taxonomic studies have shown D. haliana to be a Sri Lankan endemic, differentiated from the Indian D. subcaeruleum.[4]D. haliana is the only arboreal skink in Sri Lanka.
