Nambaroo is an extinct genus of macropod marsupial from the late Oligocene to the early Miocene of Australia.B.P. Kear; B.N. Cooke; M. Archer; T.F.Flannery (2007). Implications of a new species of the Oligo-Miocene kangaroo (Marsupialia: Macropodoidea) Nambaroo, from the Riversleigh World Heritage Area, Queensland, Australia, in Journal of Paleontology 81, pp. 1147-1167. ([http://jpaleontol.geoscienceworld.org/cgi/content/abstract/81/6/1147 abstract])

Recent research suggests that the many species belonging to this genus may be either be invalid or belong to the closely related Ganawamaya.{{cite journal |last1=Butler |first1=K. |title=Revision of Oligo-Miocene kangaroos, Ganawamaya and Nambaroo (Marsupialia: Macropodiformes, Balbaridae) |journal=Palaeontologia Electronica |date=2018 |volume=21 |issue=1 |pages=1–58 |doi=10.26879/747 |url=http://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/f8cb/70353fc0426ae4a06ef991a5429189b1609e.pdf|doi-access=free }}
