The black-headed marmoset (Mico nigriceps) is a small New World monkey, a marmoset species endemic to Brazil, first described by Stephen Ferrari and Maria Aparecida Lopes in 1992. It lives in humid tropical rainforest, mostly second growth and forest edge. Its exact distribution is not well known, but it is thought to be bounded by the Rio dos Marmelos in the north and east, the Madeira River in the west and the Ji-Parana River in the south. It is an arboreal primate of the genus Mico in the family Callitrichidae, and the IUCN Red List rates it as near threatened.
