  Balbaroo is an extinct genus of quadrupedal kangaroo that once lived in Australia.
  
  ## Taxonomy
  
  The genus was erected in 1983 to describe a new species of early marsupials, Balbaroo camfieldensis. Since then, it has been determined that members of the genus possessed sharp canines, and they are thought to have been carnivores.
  
  Four species are currently recognised:
  
  * Balbaroo camfieldensis Flannery, Archer and Plane, 1983
  * Balbaroo fangaroo Cooke, 2000
  * Balbaroo gregoriensis Flannery, Archer and Plane, 1983
  * Balbaroo nalima Black et al, 2014
