The Siberut langur (Presbytis siberu) is a monkey in the family Cercopithecidae that is native to the island of Siberut in Indonesia. It was formerly treated as a subspecies of the Mentawai langur, Presbytis potenziani, under the trinomial Presbytis potenziani siberu, until genetic analysis showed that the two populations are separate species, which is why the Siberut langur now stands as a species in its own right. Its range is the single island of Siberut, so it is a narrowly confined animal. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the Siberut langur as endangered, placing it among the primates of Indonesia that face a real risk of being lost in the wild.
