The Sambirano woolly lemur, Avahi unicolor, also called the Sambirano avahi or unicolor woolly lemur, is a woolly lemur of northwestern Madagascar that is endemic to the moist lowland forests of the Ampasindava Peninsula and the Sambirano region. It is found from sea level up to about 1,600 metres, and has an average body weight of 0.7 to 1 kilogram. Its known range lies south of the Sambirano River and west of the Manongarivo Special Reserve. It is listed on Appendix I of CITES, and deforestation is probably the main threat; it is protected only in the Anaborano Classified Forest and part of Manongarivo.
