Bubalus grovesi is an extinct species of water buffalo that lived in southern Sulawesi during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene.
B. grovesi was an extremely small buffalo species, estimated at only 117 kg (258 lb). It experienced a body size reduction of about 90% from the typical water buffalo. The closest relatives of B. grovesi are the living anoa, which still inhabit Sulawesi today.
