The Grey Red-backed Vole (Myodes rufocanus) is a species of vole. An adult Grey Red-backed Vole weighs 20-50 grams, and has a body length of 110-142 millimeters, with a tail of 39–55 mm in length. This species ranges across northern Eurasia, including northern China, the northern Korean Peninsula, and the islands of Sakhalin and Hokkaidō. It is bigger and longer-legged than the Northern Red-backed vole, which covers a similar range.
