The Schomburgk's deer (cervus schomburgki) is an extinct species of deer which inhabited central Thailand. The deer was named after Sir Robert H. Schomburgk, who was the British consul in Bangkok from 1857 to 1864, and is thought to have gone extinct by 1931. Schomburgk's deer inhabited swampy plains with long grass, cane, and shrubs in central Thailand, particularly in the Chao Phraya River valley near Bangkok.
