The Ugandan kob (Kobus kob thomasi) is a subspecies of the kob, a type of antelope found in sub-Saharan Africa in Sudan, Uganda, DRC and Ethiopia. It is normally reddish-brown, in which it differs from other kob subspecies. A Ugandan kob appears on the coat of arms of Uganda.
The Ugandan kob is sometimes alternatively classified into the subgenus Adenota. References are sometimes made to it by the Dutch name of Oeganda-waterbok.
