Brooke's duiker, Cephalophorus brookei, is a species of small forest antelope distributed throughout Liberia, Sierra Leone and Côte d'Ivoire in West Africa. It was elevated to species status after having been treated as a form of Ogilby's duiker, though the IUCN still considers it to be a subspecies of Ogilby's duiker. Duikers are the small antelopes of the subfamily Cephalophinae in the family Bovidae. Its range covers three neighbouring West African countries, and its status as a full species rather than a subspecies remains a matter of taxonomic dispute between the IUCN and other authorities.
