'''''Sarada''''' is a genus of [[lizard]]s in the family [[Agamidae]].<ref name = "Deepak et al. 2016"/><ref name=RDB/> The common name '''large fan-throated lizards''' has been coined for this genus. It is the sister genus of ''[[Sitana]]''; together they form a group known as the fan-throated lizards. The genus, consisting of three species, was erected in 2016 on the basis of molecular phylogenetic studies from across peninsular India.<ref name = "Deepak et al. 2016">{{cite journal|title= Systematics and phylogeny of ''Sitana'' (Reptilia: Agamidae) of Peninsular India, with the description of one new genus and five new species|journal= Contributions to Zoology|volume= 85|issue= 1|pages= 67–111|year= 2016|author1= Deepak, V.|author2= Giri, Varad B.|author3= Asif, M.|author4= Dutta, S.K.|author5= Vyas, R.|author6= Zambre, Amod M.|author7= Bhosale, Harshal|author8= Karanth, K.
