Tikus kanguru (Dipodomys) adalah sebuah genus hewan pengerat nokturnal yang berasal dari daerah kering di Amerika Utara barat. Nama umumnya berasal dari bentuknya yang bipedal. Mereka meloncat dengan cara yang mirip dengan kanguru, tetapi mengembangkan cara bergerak ini secara independen, seperti bberapa klad hewan pengerat lainnya (sebagai contoh, dipodidae dan tikus melompat).
