''Ocypode africana'', commonly known as the African ghost crab, is a species of ghost crabs native to the eastern Atlantic coast of western Africa, from Mauretania to Namibia.〔 They are medium-sized ghost crabs reaching carapace width of . They can vary in coloration from pinkish to dark grey. They are one of only two ghost crab species found in the eastern Atlantic (the other being the tufted ghost crabs). However, African ghost crabs can easily be distinguished from tufted ghost crabs by the absence of long tufts of hair on the tip of their eyestalks.〔 ==Taxonomy== ''Ocypode africana'' was first described by the Dutch biologist Johannes Govertus de Man in 1881. It is classified under the genus ''Ocypode'' of the ghost crab subfamily Ocypodinae in the family Ocypodidae.〔 The generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek ' ("swift" or "fast") and (', "foot"), in reference to the animal's speed. The specific name is from Latin ''africana'' ("African"). They are commonly known as the "African ghost crab" in English, ''ocypode africain'' in French, and ''capuco africano'' in Spanish.〔
