Chromodoris splendida is a species of colorful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae.

The specific epithet splendida means splendid in reference to the coloring, because this nudibranch has large red spots on a white background, a yellow line at the mantle edge, and magenta rhinophores.
