Lagidium is a genus of rodents in the family Chinchillidae.
==Taxonomy== Prior to 2009, most authors considered there to be three species of mountain viscachas. However, taxonomy sometimes differs by authors (e.g. L. peruanum is included within L. viscacia according to Anderson 1997). Four species are currently recognised: Ecuadorean mountain viscacha (L. ahuacaense) Northern viscacha (L. peruanum) Southern viscacha (L. viscacia) Wolffsohn's viscacha (L. wolffsohni)
