厚鴕屬(學名:Pachystruthio)為棲息於上新世晚期至更新世中期歐亞大陸上已滅絕的鳥類[1],化石發現於匈牙利、克里米亞共和國、羅馬尼亞、喬治亞及中國[2]。厚鴕屬下共有3種:P. pannonicus(模式種)、P. dmanisensis與P. transcaucasicus,這些種早先均被分類至鴕鳥屬。於中國泥河灣組所發現的不完整的股骨化石,目前也暫定時分類於厚鴕屬。P. dmanisensis的頂高估計可達3.5米(11英尺),體重可達450公斤(990磅),遠大於現存的鴕鳥,為目前已知體型最大的鳥類之一[1]。
雖然厚鴕屬常被暱稱為是「巨型鴕鳥」,但牠們與現存鴕鳥屬的親緣關係仍屬未知[1][3]。
