Spheniscus humboldti Meyen, 1834

Humboldt pengueni (Spheniscus humboldti), penguengiller (Spheniscidae) familyasının Spheniscus cinsinden bir penguen türü. Adını, bu hayvanları tarif eden ilk batılı gözlemci Alexander von Humboldt'dan alır. Bu penguenler küçük koloniler halinde, Güney Amerika'nın batı sahillerinde, Humboldt Akıntısı'nın soğuk bölgelerinde yaşarlar.
