Phacochoerus africanus (Gmelin, 1788)

Guziec zwyczajny (Phacochoerus africanus) – ssak parzystokopytny z rodziny świniowatych. Występuje na terenach leśnych i na sawannie Afryki Subsaharyjskiej. W przeszłości był powszechnie traktowany jako podgatunek Phacochoerus aethiopicus, lecz obecnie ta nazwa naukowa jest zarezerwowana wyłącznie dla guźca pustynnego, występującego na terenach północnej Kenii, Somalii i wschodniej Etiopii.
