Archaeohyrax is a genus of extinct, notoungulate mammal known from the Oligocene of Argentina and Bolivia.
The holotype of the type species, A. patagonicus, is a skull with a tall, blunt muzzle, and high-crowned cheek teeth. If the skull is compared to those of the superficially similar hyraxes, the remains suggest a small animal about 45 centimeters long.
