The 'Red Gazelle' (†''Gazella rufina'') is an extinct species of gazelle, which lived in northern Algeria and Morocco.
Some authorities (e.g. Kingdon 1997), however, consider that it was a subspecies of Red-fronted Gazelle (''G. rufifrons'').
It probably lived in the better watered mountain areas of North Africa rather than in deserts. The last record dated from before 1894. It is known from three specimens, which were purchased in markets in Algiers and Oran, northern Algeria, in the late nineteenth century. They are held in museums in Paris and London.
