The Pennant's Colobus (Piliocolobus pennantii) is a species of primate in the Cercopithecidae family. It is found in Cameroon, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Nigeria. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Found only in the southwestern corner of Bioko Island, Pennant's red colobus has lost nearly half its total population to uncontrolled bushmeat hunting in the past twenty years.
