Maxwell's Duikers (Cephalophus maxwellii), are small antelopes found in western Africa.

They grow to 30 inches in length with a typical shoulder height of 14.5???16 inches (35 centimetres) and weigh around 11 pounds (5 kilogrammes). Its coat is either grey-brown or grey, with a white underbelly and white markings on its face. However, there have been some rare occurrences of pale bluish, nearly purple coats.

Maxwell's Duikers live in lowland rainforest, where they eat herbs, fruits and shrubs.
