The '''Santa Marta white-fronted capuchin''' ('''''Cebus malitiosus''''') is a species of gracile capuchin monkey from Colombia. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the ''Cebus albifrons'' or a synonym of the Colombian white-faced capuchin (''C. capucinus''), but Mittermeier and Rylands elevated it to a species in 2013, following previous work by Rylands, Hershkovitz, Cooper and Hernandez-Camacho.<ref name=all>{{cite book|title=All the World's Primates|author=Jack, Katherine M.|editor=Rowe, Noel |editor2=Myers, Marc|page=290|year=2016|publisher=Pogonias Press|isbn=978-1-940496-06-1}}</ref><ref name=handbook>{{cite book|title=Handbook of the Mammals of the World: Volume 3, Primates|year=2013|isbn=978-84-96553-89-7|publisher=Lynx| editor=Mittermeier, Russell A. |editor2=Rylands, Anthony B. |editor3=Wilson, Don E. | author=Mittermeier, Russell A. |author2=Rylands, Anthony B. |pages=411–412}}</ref> The IUCN follows this taxonomy.<ref name=all/>
