This is a list of historical monkeys (that is, individual monkeys of historical significance).
- Able (a Rhesus Macaque) and Baker (a squirrel monkey), the first animals sent into space by the US to survive the experience. They were launched in May 1959 as a test of NASA's launch facilities at Cape Canaveral and procedures for retrieving astronauts after splashdown. Able died a few months after the mission, but Baker lived another 25 years.
- Katie (a capuchin monkey) - performing monkey, played Marcel in Friends and Anaheim Angels' mascot "Rally Monkey".
