Protosiren is an extinct early genus of the order Sirenia. Protosiren existed throughout the Lutetian to Priabonian stages of the Middle Eocene. Fossils have been found in the far-flung locations like the United States (South Carolina,[2] North Carolina and Florida[3]), Africa (Egypt), Europe (France, Germany[citation needed] and Hungary) and Asia (India and Pakistan).

So far, five species have been named. From comparative anatomy and chronological order,[4][5] it has been suggested that P. fraasi, P. sattaensis and P. smithae represent an ancestor-descendant lineage.[5] P. eothene is the oldest and smallest species.[6]
