The golden bandicoot (Isoodon auratus) is a short-nosed bandicoot found in northern Australia. It is the smallest of its genus, and is distinguished from the brown bandicoots by its golden colouring and much smaller size. It was once found throughout much of northern, central and western Australia, into south-western New South Wales, but it is now restricted to a few areas in Western Australia (WA) and the Northern Territory (NT).
