Invictokoala monticola is an extinct phascolarctid marsupial mammal from the middle Pleistocene of central-eastern Queensland, Australia. The holotype was found during cave excavations at Mount Etna (a local mountain in central-eastern Queensland which was named after the famed Sicilian volcano). It was first named by Gilbert J. Price and Scott A. Hocknull in 2011.{{Cite journal |last1=Price |first1=Gilbert J. |last2=Hocknull |first2=Scott A. |year=2011 |title=Invictokoala monticola gen. et sp. nov.
