Ogilby's Duiker (Cephalophus ogilbyi), is a small antelope found in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana, southeastern Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea's Bioko Island, and, possibly, Gabon.

Ogilby's Duikers weigh up to 20 kilograms and have a shoulder height of up to 56 centimeters. They vary in color from chestnut to mahogany to a deep brown, and have massive hindquarters typical of duikers.

Ogilby's Duikers live mainly in high altitude rainforest where they feed mainly on fallen fruit.
