Phloeomys, the slender-tailed cloud rats, is a genus of large rodents in the family Muridae. Both species in this genus are endemic to the island of Luzon in the Philippines. Although their tail is covered by hairs, it is considerably less dense and shorter than in the rarer bushy-tailed cloud rats (genus Crateromys) that also inhabit the Philippines.{{Cite journal|last=Oliver|display-authors=etal|year=1993|title=Cloud rats in the Philippines — preliminary report on distribution and status|journal=Oryx|volume=27|pages=41–48|doi=10.1017/s0030605300023942|doi-access=free}}
