The Central Antillean slider (Trachemys stejnegeri) is a species of turtle in the family Emydidae. The species is found on three islands in the West Indies: Hispaniola, Great Inagua, and Puerto Rico.

The specific name, stejnegeri, is in honor of Norwegian-born American herpetologist Leonhard Stejneger.^[4]

Three subspecies are recognized as being valid, including the nominotypical subspecies.

Nota bene: A trinomial authority in parentheses indicates that the subspecies was originally described in a genus other than Trachemys.
