El elefante africano o elefante de selva africano (Loxodonta cyclotis) es una especie de mamífero proboscídeo de la familia de los elefántidos. Fue considerado, durante mucho tiempo y hasta hace poco, como una subespecie de Loxodonta africana. Varios estudios recientes basados en el ADN han establecido que debe ser considerado una especie independiente.
