Sanford's brown lemur (Eulemur sanfordi), or Sanford's lemur, is a species of prosimian primate in the Lemuridae family. The Sanford's brown lemur was previously considered a subspecies of the common brown lemur (Eulemur fulvus) but as of 2005 many of the brown lemurs have been elevated to a full species status. It is named after Dr Leonard Cutler Sanford, a trustee of the American Museum of Natural History.
