The Santa Marta white-fronted capuchin (Cebus malitiosus) is a gracile capuchin monkey from Colombia, in the family Cebidae. It was formerly considered a subspecies of Cebus albifrons or a synonym of the Colombian white-faced capuchin, until Mittermeier and Rylands elevated it to a species in 2013, following earlier work by Rylands, Hershkovitz, Cooper and Hernandez-Camacho; the IUCN follows this taxonomy. Its range is restricted to forests near the northwest base of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in northern Colombia. Males have a head and body about 45.7 cm long and a tail about 43.3 cm long.
