Le phalanger de Norfolk (Petaurus norfolcensis ; en anglais : Squirrel Glider ) est un possum volant de la famille des Petauridae. C'est l'un des écureuils volants du genre Petaurus.

Comme la plupart des écureuils volants, il est endémique en Australie. Il est à peu près deux fois plus gros que le planeur de sucre (Petaurus breviceps).

Il se nourrit essentiellement de fruits et d'insectes. Il peut se laisser planer d'arbre en arbre sur une quinzaine de mètres.

Il ne plane pas en captivité.
