The eastern common cuscus (Phalanger intercastellanus) is a species of marsupial in the family Phalangeridae found in eastern Papua New Guinea.[2] Until recently, it was considered conspecific with P. mimicus, and before that also with P. orientalis.
The eastern common cuscus was introduced by humans into the Aru Islands and parts of northern Australia.[4]
