Hemitragus jemlahicus (C.H.Smith, 1826)

히말라야타르 또는 히말라야타알(Himalayan tahr, 학명: Hemitragus jemlahicus)는 우제목/경우제목 소과에 속하는 유제류의 일종이다. 티베트 남부와 인도 북부 그리고 네팔의 히말라야 지역에서 서식하는 타르(tahr)의 일종이다. 세계 자연 보전 연맹(IUCN)은 사냥과 서식지 감소로 인한 개체수 감소때문에 이 종을 멸종 취약종으로 분류하고 있다. 계통분류학 연구 결과에 의하면, 이 종은 야생 염소와 근연 관계에 있다. 이전에는 히말라야타르속(Hemitragus)에 여러 종을 포함시켰지만, 현재는 히말라야타르만을 이 속의 유일종으로 분류한다. 뉴질랜드와 남아프리카에 외래족으로 도입된 적이 있다. 천적은 눈표범이다.
