Parvitragulus is an extinct monospecific genus of hypertragulid ruminant endemic to North America. It lived during the Late Eocene, 38–33.9 Ma, existing for approximately {{Mya|38-34|million years}}.[Parvitragulus at fossilworks] Its fossils have been found in Wyoming, Nebraska, and Texas.

Parvitragulus were primitive and ancient ruminants, resembling small deer or musk deer, although they were more closely related to modern chevrotains. Its diet is stated{{by whom|date=April 2019}} to be that of a frugivore.
