高角羚（学名：Aepyceros melampus），别名黑斑羚、飞羚，是一种中等体型的羚羊，分布于非洲东部和南部。高角羚由德国动物学家辛里奇·利希滕斯坦于1812年命名，是高角羚属的唯一物种，下有高角羚亚种和黑面高角羚亚种。高角羚肩高约70－92厘米，体重约40－76千克，体表覆盖着光滑而略带红棕色的毛。雄性高角羚的角可长达45－92厘米。 高角羚主要在昼间活动，根据地理位置和气候不同，可能表现出群居性，也可能表现出领地意识。存在三种不同的社会群体：有领地意识的雄性，待交配的雄性群体，雌性群体。高角羚善以跳跃来躲避捕食者，并以其特有的两种跳跃方式著称。高角羚的食谱包括各种草、嫩叶和果实。每年雨季结束前，通常是在五月，高角羚会有为期三周左右的繁殖季节。发情的雄性会为了支配地位而争斗，获胜者会向雌性求爱。雌性怀孕期为六至七个月，通常为单胎。幼崽接受哺乳四至六个月，之后年轻的雄性会被赶出群体，加入待交配的雄性群体；年轻的雌性则可以继续留在本群体中。 高角羚通常在疏林或者疏林和热带草原间的群落交错区活动，栖息地靠近水源。高角羚亚种分布较为广泛，黑面高角羚亚种的分布则限于较小的区域中。国际自然保护联盟将高角羚亚种归于无危物种，将黑面高角羚亚种归于易危物种。截至2008年，野生的黑面高角羚仅有1000余只。
