Palaeophasianus is an extinct genus of flightless Geranoididae birds that lived in North America during the Eocene period. Robert Wilson Shufeldt classified Palaeophasianus as a galliform when he described it in 1913.[1] However it was transferred to Cracidae in 1964 by Pierce Brodkorb,[2] while Joel Cracraft in 1968 placed it in Gruiformes.[3][4]

The only species in this genus is P. meleagroides,[5][6] and it is described as a "ground-dwelling carnivore".[6] The fossil remains were found by the American Museum expedition of 1910 in Big Horn County, Wyoming, in the Willwood formation (early Eocene).[7]
