Phelsuma kely is a species of diurnal gecko.[1][2] It is endemic to Madagascar and is known from the central east coast of Madagascar, south of Tamatave.[1] It typically inhabits dragon trees. The gecko feeds on insects and probably nectar.

Little is known of this species, and it is known only from a single locality. It was first scientifically described in 2004. The IUCN declines to classify it as endangered or otherwise, citing "no information on its distribution, population status or threats".[1]
