The Rondo Bushbaby (Galago rondoensis) is a species of primate in the Galagidae family. It is endemic to Tanzania. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.

The world's smallest galago, the Rondo dwarf galago survives in less than 100 km² of tiny forest pockets, scattered in two widely separated regions of coastal Tanzania.

Weighing approximately 60 g, this is the smallest of all galago species (Honess 1996b). It is distinct from other dwarf galagos in its diminutive size, a bottle-brush-shaped tail, its reproductive anatomy, and its distinctive “double unit rolling call” (Bearder et al. 1995; Honess 1996a, 1996b). Current knowledge indicates that this species occurs in two distinct areas, one in southwest Tanzania near the coastal towns of Lindi and Mtwara, the other approximately 400 km further north, above the Rufiji River, in pockets of forest around Dar es Salaam. One further population occurs in Sadaani National Park, approximately 100 km north of Dar es Salaam.
