Drouhard's shrew tenrec (Microgale drouhardi), also known as the striped shrew tenrec, is a species of mammal in the family Tenrecidae. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.[2]

This species forages in small family groups, and unusually they maintain contact by the high-pitched sounds produced by the rubbing of hollow quills on their backs.[3]
