Uromastyx is a genus of 13 African and Asian agamid lizard species.  Lizards in the genus Uromastyx are primarily herbivorous, but occasionally eat insects and other small animals, especially young lizards. Their size ranges from 10 inches (U. macfadyeni) to 36 inches or more (U. aegyptia).

The generic name (Uromastyx) is derived from the Ancient Greek words ourá meaning "tail" and -mastix meaning "whip" or "scourge", after the thick-spiked tail characteristic of all Uromastyx species. Their spiked tail is muscular and heavy, and can be swung at an attacker with great velocity, usually accompanied by hissing and an open-mouthed display of teeth. Uromastyxs generally sleep in their burrows with their tails closest to the opening, in order to thwart intruders.

Uromastyx inhabit a range stretching through most of North and Northeast Africa, the Middle East, ranging as far east as Iran. They are regularly eaten, and sold in produce markets, by local peoples. Uromastyx are removed from the wild in an unregulated manner for the pet and medicinal trade in Morocco, despite their protected status in the country. Conditions of the animals while being sold is often extremely poor and overcrowding is common.
