Hamlyn's monkey (Cercopithecus hamlyni), also known as the owl-faced monkey, is a species of Old World monkey. It inhabits the bamboo and primary rainforests of the Congo. This species is exceedingly rare and known only from a few specimens. There little is known about it. However these specimens tend to be widely dispersed throughout the eastern part of Congo. They range from the Epulu River to the Lukuga River and from the Zaire River to the Kabale Forest.

The male is much larger than the female. The average adult weighs 15.43 to 22.04 lbs (7 to 10 kg), while females weigh on average 9.92 to 13.23 lbs (4.5 to 6 kg). It is thought to eat fruit and leaves. Some published reports indicated that Hamlyn's monkey lives in small groups, of ten members or less. They have one male and multiple females. The species has been found only in higher elevations, above 2,953 feet (900m) and up to 15,092 feet (4600m). In color it is generally dark gray. It has a characteristic white stripe that extends from the root of the nose to the upper lip. This gives it an owl-like appearance, hence the name "Owl-faced Monkey". It has scent glands on its chest with which it marks its territory. Both genders have bare, blue buttocks. The mature male has bright red and blue genitals. The juvenile coloration is a yellow-brown coat and a pink face. In captivity it has been known to live for about 33 years
