The Zanzibar red colobus (Piliocolobus kirkii) is a species of red colobus monkey endemic to Unguja, the main island of the Zanzibar Archipelago, off the coast of Tanzania.

It is now classified as an endangered species and in the mid-1990s was adopted as the flagship species for conservation in Zanzibar. The population is still decreasing, and conservationists are attempting to work with the local government to devise a proper, effective strategy to protect the population and habitat. Challenges include the species' habitat, which is limited to the archipelago.

Zanzibar Red Colobus Monkeys are tree-dwelling herbivores. They have a lightweight bone structure that helps them to leap between trees. They also possess a long tail that is only used for balancing. Red Colobus Monkeys are found in three forests of the Zanzibar archipelago and can also be spotted in coastal thickets and agricultural areas.

Red Colobus Monkeys are very social animals. They live in hierarchical groups led by alpha males. The troops can number up to 80 with the average troop size being around 40 to 50. The Red Colobus has specialized calls to communicate different messages (e.g., messages related to mating and warnings).
