The Hartmann's mountain zebra (Equus zebra hartmannae) is a subspecies of the mountain zebra found in far south-western Angola and western Namibia. Hartmann's mountain zebras prefer to live in small groups of 7-12 individuals. They are agile climbers and are able to live in arid conditions and steep mountainous country.

Like all zebra species, the mountain zebra has a characteristic black and white striping pattern on its pelage, unique to individuals. It is medium-sized, thinner with narrower hooves than the common plains zebra, and has a white belly like the Grévy's zebra. The mountain zebra also has a dewlap.
