The Ankober Serin (Serinus ankoberensis) is a species of finch in the Fringillidae family. Recent studies places this bird in Carduelis, another genus of finches. It is a small brown seedeater, about 12 centimeters or 5 inches in length, gregarious and often encountered in flocks, with brown upperparts and its head and breast distinguished with heavy buffy-colored streaking. Its song consists of a constant, low twitter.^[1]

This bird is endemic to Ethiopia, inhabiting steep rocky slopes and high cliff-tops; the reported range of the Ankober Serin consists of several disjointed areas in northern Shewa and in the northern Amhara Region.^[1] It is threatened by habitat loss.
