The chestnut capuchin (Cebus castaneus), also called the chestnut weeper capuchin, is a species of capuchin monkey from northeastern Brazil, southern Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. It was described in 1851 as a subspecies of the wedge-capped capuchin, but a 2012 study found grounds to recognize it at least tentatively as a distinct species, and the American Society of Mammalogists, the IUCN Red List and ITIS all follow that classification. It inhabits the uplands of the Guiana Shield north of the Amazon River and east of the Rio Negro, limited on both sides by the Branco River, and its range is still poorly known.
