Nesoryzomys indefessus narboroughi is a subspecies of Nesoryzomys indefessus, a rodent in the genus Nesoryzomys, from Fernandina Island in the Galápagos Islands. The only other subspecies occurred on Indefatigable Island, but is now extinct.^[2] Some consider the two to be distinct species, in which case the Fernandina form would be Nesoryzomys narboroughi.^[1] Another, larger, Nesoryzomys is also found on Fernandina—Nesoryzomys fernandinae.
