The Siberut macaque (Macaca siberu) is a vulnerable species of macaque, which is endemic to Siberut Island in Indonesia. It was formerly considered conspecific with M. pagensis (which is overall paler), but this arrangement is polyphyletic. Both were formerly considered subspecies of M. nemestrina.
