"Poebrotherium" is an extinct genus of camel, lived during late Eocene to early Oligocene some 35 million years ago in North America.

The 1 m (3 ft 4 in) long creature looked more like modern camels than its predecessor "Protylopus". Its skull resembled a llama's. "Poebrotherium"`s limbs ended in hooved toes and were more built for speed than "Protylopus"`s.
