The Congo rope squirrel, Funisciurus congicus, is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae. It is found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo south of the Congo River, in western Angola and in northern Namibia. It is mainly associated with dense woodland, but in Namibia it is also found with vegetation on granite outcrops. The squirrel is diurnal and arboreal, but it also forages on the ground. The species was described by Heinrich Kuhl in 1820, and the IUCN Red List assesses it as Least Concern.
