Aepyceros is a genus of African antelope that contains a single living species, the impala. It is the only known member of the tribe Aepycerotini.[1]

Two extinct species are known, Aepyceros datoadeni[2] and Aepyceros shungurae.[3] A third species, Aepyceros premelampus has been transferred to a new genus, Afrotragus.[4]
