Agama finchi, commonly known as Finch's agama, is a small species of lizard in the family Agamidae. The species is native to Central Africa and East Africa. There are two recognized subspecies.

The specific name, finchi, is in honor of zoologist Brian W. Finch who discovered this species.

The preferred natural habitat of A. finchi is grassland.

Small for its genus, A. finchi does not exceed 25 cm (9.8 in) in total length (including tail).

A. finchi is oviparous.

Two subspecies are recognized as being valid including the nominotypical subspecies.
