Lomaphorelus is a dubious extinct genus of glyptodont known from the Middle Eocene of Patagonia. One species of Lomaphorelus has been described, L. depstus, which is known from only a single fossil armor scute. The Middle Eocene age of the scute makes Lomaphorelus one of the earliest known glyptodonts.
