Budorcas churcheri is an extinct species of takin that lived in the Pliocene of Ethiopia.

Its remains were found in the Hadar Formation.

[2][3] While the living takin is endemic to the region of Tibet, the presence of B. churcheri in the African continent confirms that genus was far more widespread in the past.

[3] The species was named in honor of the distinguished Canadian palaeontologist, C.S.
