Saimiri annectens is an extinct species of New World monkey in the genus Saimiri, from the Middle Miocene, in the Laventan stage of the South American land mammal ages, about 13.8 to 11.8 million years ago. It was originally described as Laventiana annectens and later as Neosaimiri annectens. The fossils come from the Masato Site in the upper redbeds of the Villavieja Formation of the Honda Group in Colombia, dated to about 13.5 million years ago. The lower molars, mandible and talus look intermediate between squirrel monkeys and the marmosets and tamarins, and its estimated body mass is 605 to 800 grams.
