The Eastern Chimpanzee ("Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii") is a subspecies of the Common Chimpanzee. It occurs in the Central African Republic, the Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, and Zambia.

The 2007 IUCN Red List classified them as Endangered. Although the Common Chimpanzee is the most abundant and widespread of the non-human great apes, recent declines in East Africa are expected to continue due to hunting and loss of habitat. Because chimpanzees and humans are so physiologically similar, chimpanzees succumb to many diseases that afflict humans.fact|date=July 2008 If not properly managed, research and tourism also presents a risk of disease transmission between humans and chimpanzees.
