The Lake Mackay Hare-wallaby ("Lagorchestes asomatus"), also known as the Central Hare-wallaby or Kuluwarri, is an extinct species of macropod formerly found in central Australia. Very little is known about it.cite book|last=Menkhorst|first=Peter|year=2001|title=A Field Guide to the Mammals of Australia|publisher=Oxford University Press|pages=108]

The Lake Mackay Hare-wallaby is known only from a single animal collected in 1932 between Mt Farewell and Lake Mackay in the Northern Territory. Only the skull was kept, and this is all the evidence scientists have today for the Lake Mackay Hare-wallaby's existence. Its habitat is believed to have been desert sandhills.
