猩猩人是指人类与黑猩猩杂交的假设后代名称。由于人类与猩猩的遗传结构相当近似（当中DNA串行有95%相似，而DNA编码更高达99%相似度），一些科学家猜测两者交配或可生出后代。

英语文献有作Humanzee、Chuman或Manpanzee等。根据遗传学家对杂交物种的命名习惯，他们都会从两个物种的俗名来制订混成词，以显示物种的父系及母系物种。这在遗传学来说很重要，因为基因组铭印－－即父母的基因对杂交后代物种的可能影响。同一条基因，在父系的生殖细胞或母系的生殖细胞的表现有可能对后代物种有不同的影响。

因此，依照这个逻辑，「Chuman」只能用于雄性黑猩猩及人类女性的后代；而「Humanzee」及「Manpanzee」则只能用于人类男性及雌性黑猩猩的后代（比照虎狮兽及狮虎兽的命名）。不过，一般通俗文章未必会这样清楚的划分两者的区别。

The humanzee (Homo sapiens sapiens × Pan) (also known as the Chuman or Manpanzee) is a hypothetical chimpanzee/human hybrid. An unsuccessful attempt to breed such a hybrid was made by Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov in the 1920s. There have been occasional reports of human-chimpanzee hybridization, notably regarding a performing chimp named Oliver during the 1970s, but none of them have been confirmed. Similarly, the possibility of a chimpanzee–gorilla hybrid, known as koolakamba, also remains unsubstantiated.
