Stiphodon multisquamus Wu & Ni, 1986 is a species of goby previously thought to be endemic to Hainan Island, southern China. Recently, it has been recorded from the southern Chinese mainland, southern Japan, and Da Nang, Central Vietnam. Here we report the southernmost record of this species from Dak Lak Province, Vietnam. This is a range extension of over 400 km into southern Vietnam. Updated maps showing the species distribution are also provided.
