An Australopithecus (/ˌɒstrələˈpɪθɪkəs/, OS-trə-lə-PITH-i-kəs;^[1] (Etymolohiya: Latin: australis habagatan; Greek: πίθηκος (pithekos) ukay^[2]) iyo an genus kan amay na hominins na nag-eksister sa Aprika durante kan Pliocene asin Early Pleistocene. An genera na Homo (na kun saen kabali an modernong tawo), Paranthropus, asin Kenyanthropus nag-evolve gikan sa ibang espesye nin Australopithecus. An Australopithecus iyo an myembro kan subtribe Australopithecina,^[3][4] na kun saen kun minsan kabali man an Ardipithecus,^[5] minsan ngani an termino na "australopithecine" kun minsan piggamit tanganing magpanongod sa mga myembro kan Australopithecus. An mga espesye kabali an A. garhi, A. africanus, A. sediba, A. afarensis, A. anamensis, A. bahrelghazali and A. deyiremeda. Nag-eksistir an debate na kun an ibang espesye nin Australopithecus dapat na iklasipikar giraray sa bàgong henera, o kun an Paranthropus asin an Kenyanthropus mga sinonimo sa Australopithecus, in part huli sa taxonomic inconsistency.^[6]
