Saltatherium (meaning "Salta Province Beast") is an extinct genus of Cingulatan from the Middle Eocene. Its remains were found in the Quebrada de Los Colorados Formation in Los Cardones National Park, Salta Province, north-western Argentina in 2021.^[1]

Not much is known about this genus due to its recent discovery and its limited fossil material.
