El lobo de tierra o proteles (Proteles cristata) es una especie de mamífero carnívoro de la familia Hyaenidae,​ que, al contrario que las demás hienas, es un tímido insectívoro solitario. Es el único miembro de su género y de la subfamilia Protelinae. Existen dos poblaciones diferenciadas del lobo de tierra. La primera se distribuye en el sur de África: Botsuana, Namibia, Sudáfrica, sur de Angola, sur de Zambia y sudoeste de Mozambique. La segunda se encuentra en zonas que abarcan desde Tanzania central, Uganda, Kenia, Somalia hasta los desiertos de Etiopía, Sudán y el sur de Egipto.
