福克蘭狼（學名：Dusicyon australis，原本的名稱為Canis antarcticus）是福克蘭群島唯一一種陸棲的哺乳動物，也被稱為南極狼、福克蘭犬或福克蘭狐，這種犬科的特有種於1876年絕種（於西福克蘭島），也是近代史上已知唯一滅絕的犬科动物。最接近的親源種是棲息在南美大陆的鬃狼。目前已知在西福克蘭島與東福克蘭島都曾有福克蘭狼的蹤跡，不過牠們之間差異多大並不清楚。 福克蘭狼的毛是黃褐色的，尾巴的尖端則是白色的，以什麼為食則不清楚。由於福克蘭群島缺乏原生的齧齒類動物，所以福克蘭狼很可能是以在地面築巢的鵝、企鵝、幼蟲與昆蟲為食，就像海岸清道夫一樣。牠們有時被認為是居住在洞穴之中。
