Afrotyphlops rouxestevae is a species of snake in the Typhlopidae family. It is endemic to Cameroon and only known from the holotype collected from Douala before 1974.
The specific name honours Rolande Roux-Estève, who provided the first description of this taxon in 1974 but did not formally describe it as a new species, pending collection of further specimens.
