Alston's brown mouse, also called Alston's singing mouse, short-tailed singing mouse, or singing mouse (''Scotinomys teguina''), is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in Central America, from Chiapas, Mexico, to western Panama. This species produces vocalizations in both the sonic and ultrasonic range that are thought to be an important component of its communication behavior.〔Reid, Fiona A. (1997): "''A field guide to the mammals of central america and southeast mexico''. Oxford University Press, New York〕 == Distribution and habitat ==
''S. teguina'' is exclusively found in the highland forests of Central America, from Chiapas, Mexico to western Panama, at elevations between 1100 and 2950 meters.〔Hooper, Emmet T., and Carleton Michael D.

Miscellaneous Publications Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, 665:1–31.〕 Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama. This rodent prefers wet habitats with subtropical climates, and is commonly observed in grassy clearings and rocky areas at the forest edge. ''S. teguina'' is diurnal in the wild. In laboratory settings, it is predominantly active in the morning, with decreasing activity in the afternoon to evening hours.
