Pediomeryx is an extinct genus of artiodactyl, of the family Dromomerycidae, endemic to North America. It lived during the Late Miocene Early Pliocene 10.3—4.9 Ma, existing for approximately {{Mya|10-5|million years}}.[https://paleobiodb.org/classic/checkTaxonInfo?taxon_no=42636 Pediomeryx at fossilworks] Fossils have been recovered from the Midway Site in Florida, the Gray Fossil Site in northeast Tennessee, several sites in Nebraska and Wyoming, Saskatchewan, and Boron, California. They were comparable in size to red deer, with most specimens weighing 100–200 kg but surpassing 400 kg in the case of P. figginsi.{{cite journal |last1=David Lambert |first1=W. |title=Functional Convergence of Ecosystems: Evidence from Body Mass Distributions of North American Late Miocene Mammal Faunas |journal=Ecosystems |date=2006 |volume=9 |issue=9 |pages=97–118 |doi=10.1007/s10021-005-0076-8 |bibcode=2006Ecosy...9...97L |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/225741227}}
