Paracynarctus is an extinct genus of the Borophaginae subfamily of canids native to North America. It lived from the Early Miocene to Middle Miocene 16.0—13.6 Ma, existing for approximately 2.4 million years.^[1] It was likely an omnivore, and lacked the bone-cracking adaptations found in some later borophagines.^[2]

P. kelloggi was originally found Virgin Valley, Nevada in a Barstovian terrestrial horizon.^[1]
