Masripithecus () (mean: Egyptian ape) is an extinct genus of hominoid primate known from the Early Miocene Moghra Formation of Wadi Moghra in northern Egypt. It contains a single species, Masripithecus moghraensis, described in 2026 from mandibular remains dating to about 17–18 million years ago. The genus was described as the first definitive fossil ape known from North Africa, and the original study recovered it as closer to crown hominoids than coeval fossil apes from East Africa.
