The Chinese false-eyed turtle (''Cuora trifasciata × Sacalia quadriocellata'') is a hybrid species of turtle in the family Geoemydidae. It is a hybrid between a male golden coin turtle (''Cuora trifasciata'') and a female four-eyed turtle (''Sacalia quadriocellata''). While formerly considered to be a wild type species believed to be originally from Hainan, it is now known only from pet trade type specimens.
