The Namaqua slender mongoose (Herpestes sanguineus swalius), also known as the Namibian slender mongoose, is a subspecies of the common slender mongoose. It is endemic to Namibia. Originally described as Herpestes cauui swalius and considered separate from H. sanguineus on the basis and color and skull shape, it was provisionally placed in H. sanguineus but considered to possibly be a distinct species. The characters used to distinguish them were later found to be non-diagnostic.
