Procavia is a genus of hyraxes. The rock hyrax (P. capensis) is currently the only extant species belonging to this genus, though other species were recognized in the past, including P. habessinica and P. ruficeps, both now relegated to subspecific rank.

Several fossil species are known as well, the oldest dated to the Early Pliocene, including:

†Procavia antiqua (syn. Procavia robertsi)^[2]
†Procavia pliocenica^[3]^[4]
†Procavia transvaalensis (syn. Procavia obermeyerae)^[2]
