Maokopia is an extinct genus of Zygomaturinae from the Late Pleistocene of Irian Jaya, New Guinea. It is known from a partial skull and was a comparatively small species of diprotodontid, weighing 100 kg.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UZLuF1YXYTcC&pg=PA251&dq=Euryzygoma#q=maokopia|title=Extinctions in Near Time|last=MacPhee|first=R.

The teeth indicate a diet of hard ferns and grasses that still grow in the alpine meadows of the area (Long et al., 2002).
