The Zagros Mountains mouse-like hamster (Calomyscus bailwardi) is a relatively little-known rodent which was the first species of mouse-like hamster to be described. The species is distributed throughout much of southern Iran, particularly in the Zagros mountains. It is also known as the Iranian mouse-like hamster, though there are several species of mouse-like hamster found in different parts of Iran.

Calomyscus bailwardi es una especie de roedor de la familia Calomyscidae. Es endémico del sur del Irán, particularmente en los montes Zagros. Un registro hecho en el sudeste de Turquía, posiblemente pertenece a esta especie, entretanto, necesita de confirmación taxonómica.
