Red-cheeked squirrels are species of squirrels in the genus Dremomys in the subfamily Callosciurinae.^[2] The six species which are all found only in Asia are listed as "Least Concern" by the IUCN.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]

The red-throated squirrel (Dremomys gularis) is distributed in parts of southeastern Asia, in areas of the Red River Valley of northern Vietnam and southern central Yunnan in China.^[8] It is sympatric with another member of the same genus, D. rufigenis, but lives at higher attitudes^[1] - 2,500 to 3,000 metres (1.6 to 1.9 mi) in the case of the type specimen.^[8]
The orange-bellied Himalayan squirrel (Dremomys lokriah) is found in Bangladesh, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal and Bhutan.
Perny's long-nosed squirrel (Dremomys pernyi) is found in China, India, Myanmar, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
The red-hipped squirrel (Dremomys pyrrhomerus) is found in China and Vietnam.
The Asian red-cheeked squirrel (Dremomys rufigenis) is found in Cambodia, China, India, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.^[9]

The Bornean mountain ground squirrel (Dremomys everetti), found in Indonesia and Malaysia, was moved from this genus to Sundasciurus.
