Scaglia is an extinct genus of South American astrapotherid land mammal that lived during the Eocene (Casamayoran SALMA).[1] The genus was named after Argentinian naturalist Galileo Juan Scaglia,[2] and the type species after Argentinian palaeontologist Lucas Kraglievich. Its type specimen is MMCNT-MdP 207.[3]

Like Albertogaudrya, Scaglia was the size of a sheep or a small tapir, hence among the larger mammals in South America at that time.[4]
