"Thomashuxleya" is an extinct genus of notoungulate mammal.

The 1,30 m (4 ft 4 in) long creature was named after famous 19th century biologist Thomas Huxley. It showed little specialization, making it hard to place it in an ecological niche. "Thomashuxleya"'s large skull had 44 teeth in its jaws. It had large tusks which may have been used to dig around in earth.
