"Euphoberia" is an extinct genus of myriapod. With a length of 1 m (3 ft 4 in), it was about four times the length of the largest modern-day species, "Scolopendra gigantea".

There are varying opinions about the appropriate classification of "Euphoberia". Some experts believe it is a millipede, while others feel it is a primitive centipede.
