The Sicilian wolf (Canis lupus cristaldii) (Sicilian: lupu sicilianu) is an extinct subspecies of the gray wolf that was endemic to Sicily. It was paler than the mainland Italian wolf and comparable in size to the extant Arabian wolf and extinct Japanese wolf. The subspecies reportedly went extinct due to human persecution in the 1920s, though there were several possible sightings up to the 1970s. It was identified as a distinct subspecies in 2018 through morphological examinations of the few remaining mounted specimens and skulls, as well as mtDNA analyses.

- Il lupo siciliano (Canis lupus cristaldii Angelici & Rossi, 2018) era una sottospecie di lupo grigio endemico della Sicilia. Dal manto più chiaro rispetto al lupo appenninico e paragonabile per dimensioni all'odierno lupo arabo e all'estinto lupo giapponese, si estinse a causa della persecuzione umana negli anni venti del ventesimo secolo, sebbene esistono segnalazioni fino agli anni settanta. Fu riconosciuto come sottospecie distinta dal lupo grigio appenninico nel 2018, tramite esami morfologici dei pochi esemplari imbalsamati conosciuti e di un cranio, insieme a un'analisi del DNA mitocondriale dei reperti.
