Max (born April 21, 1999) is a male southern white rhinoceros on exhibit at the Birmingham Zoo.

Max arrived at the zoo in October 2012 from the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Florida to join females Laptop and Ajabu in the zoo's Trails of Africa exhibit. He is considered a potential mate for the females as part of the Species Survival Plan, a program of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums to help conserve rhinos and other animals.
