Xenorhinotherium is an extinct genus of macraucheniine macraucheniids, native to northern South America during the Pleistocene and Holocene epoch, closely related to Macrauchenia of Patagonia. The type species is X. bahiense.
== Taxonomy == Some authors have proposed that the genus Xenorhinotherium a synonym of Macrauchenia, though this has not been widely accepted. The name Xenorhinotherium means "Strange-Nosed Beast" and bahiense refers to the Brazilian state of Bahia, where the first fossils were found.
