The Albany adder (Bitis albanica) is a viper species. It was previously considered a subspecies of Bitis cornuta.[4][3] Its range is restricted to eastern and southern Cape Province in South Africa.[5] Like all vipers, it is venomous.

It is extremely rare, and had been thought potentially extinct until four live specimens and one road kill were found in late 2016 or early 2017.[6] Only 12 individuals have been identified since the species was discovered in 1937.[6]
