The Manitoba wolf (Canis lupus griseoalbus), also known as the grey-white wolf,[3] is an extinct subspecies of gray wolf that roamed in the southern Northwest Territories, northern Alberta, Saskatchewan, and south-central Manitoba. This wolf is recognized as a subspecies of Canis lupus in the taxonomic authority Mammal Species of the World (2005).[4]

In the early 19th century, John Richardson first cataloged the Manitoba wolf and gave it its taxonomic name.[5] The species itself was highly prized for its fur[6] and was hunted to extinction in the wild in the early 20th century.
