The black-crested Sumatran langur (Presbytis melalophos) is a species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae. It is endemic to Sumatra in Indonesia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]

The black Sumatran langur, black-and-white langur, Sarawak surili, Raffles' banded langur and mitered langur were formerly considered subspecies of P. melalophos.[2][3]
