The Grey Rhebok or Grey Rhebuck ("Pelea capreolus", locally known as the Vaal Rhebok or Vaalribbok) is a species of antelope endemic to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and Swaziland.

They prefer grassy, montane habitat, and carry a woolly grey coat to insulate them from the cold of their habitat. Only the males carry the straight horns. Males become extremely aggressive during the breeding season.

The Afrikaans/Dutch spelling: Reebok, is responsible for the name of the British sportswear manufacturing company Reebok.
