The term antelope is used to refer to many species of even-toed ruminant that are indigenous to various regions in Africa and Eurasia.

Antelope comprise a wastebasket taxon (miscellaneous group) within the family Bovidae, encompassing all Old World ruminants that are not bovines, caprines, deer, or giraffes. One New World species, the pronghorn of North America, is sometimes colloquially referred to as the "American antelope", but they are more closely related to the Giraffidae family. The "true antelope" are the genera Gazella, Nanger, Eudorcas and Antilope.
