Thylacinus is a genus of extinct carnivorous marsupials from the order Dasyuromorphia. The only recent member was the thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus), commonly also known as the Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf, which became extinct in 1936 due to excessive hunting by humans. Other prehistoric species are known from this genus. An unidentified species is known from Pleistocene New Guinea.
