蒙古野驴Equus hemionus hemionus蒙古语ᠬᠤᠯᠠᠨ西里尔字母хулан),或称戈壁野驴,是亚洲野驴的一个亚种[2]它们分布在蒙古中国北方,以往亦曾在哈萨克出没,但因猎杀而在当地灭绝了。[3]

蒙古野驴的分布地于1990年代大大的减少。于1994年至1997年估计就有33000-63000只蒙古野驴,分布在差不多整个蒙古南部。[4]但到了2003年就只有约20000只,分布在蒙古南部的17万平方公里。[5]虽然所有资料都非正式统计[6][7],但肯定它们在过去70年就已失去了50%的分布地。

蒙古野驴的数量下降是因被烹吃及与其他家畜争食所致,并被列为濒危物种[1]自1953年起,它们在蒙古就已经全面受到保护。它们被列在《濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约》附录二中。[8]但是,由于人类人口膨涨及严冬的气候[9],它们与牧民之间的争竞就更为激烈。

蒙古野驴被烹吃的问题日益严重。在一些地区,它们的肉是很廉价。单于2005年的问卷调查,就显示每年有多达4500匹蒙古野驴被烹吃,即总数量的20%。再者于1990年代初,政策容许城市居民回归为游牧民族,引发野外地区的人口及家畜暴增。[10][11][12]
