Pildra is an extinct genus of Pseudocheiridae from the Oligocene–Miocene of Australia.[1][2] Specimens have been collected from the Tirari Desert and Frome Basin in northern South Australia and the Oligo-Miocene freshwater limestone deposits of the Riversleigh World Heritage Area in northwestern Queensland.[3]

It is estimated to have weighed between 100 and 300 g (3.5 and 10.6 oz).[4]
