The grey red-backed vole or the grey-sided vole (Craseomys rufocanus) is a species of vole. An adult grey red-backed vole weighs 20-50 grams. This species ranges across northern Eurasia, including northern China, the northern Korean Peninsula, and the islands of Sakhalin and HokkaidÅ. It is larger and longer-legged than the northern red-backed vole (Clethrionomys rutilus), which covers a similar range and it is also sympatric with the Norwegian lemming (Lemmus lemmus).
