The ash-grey mouse (Pseudomys albocinereus) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in Australia.

The preferred habitat of the mouse are areas of low heathland or scrubland with sandy soils.[2] These mice are well adapted to the desert environment; they are nocturnal and fossorial, have plugged entrances to burrows and huddle in groups to decrease evaporation rates.[3] Females give birth to litters of between two and six young after a gestation period of between 37 and 38 days.[2]
