潘帕斯猫（Leopardus pajeros）是一种小型猫科动物，分布于阿根廷，智利，玻利维亚，秘鲁，厄瓜多尔，并可能远至哥伦比亚西南部。虽然以“潘帕斯”命名，但这种猫科动物在草地，灌丛及海拔5,000米（16,000英尺）左右的干燥林中都有分布。 潘帕斯猫传统上被包括在南美草原猫（L. colocolo）中，但基于对皮毛的颜色/图案和颅骨测量的差异，南美草原猫经常被分裂成数个不同的物种。遗传上的研究并不支持这种分裂，故一些机构坚持认为潘帕斯猫是南美草原猫的亚种。令人困惑的是，南美草原猫（包括潘帕斯猫和潘塔纳尔猫两个亚种）这种“组合物种”有时也被称为潘帕斯猫。 人们对野外生活的潘帕斯猫研究甚少，其狩猎方式亦不明确。已有报道称潘帕斯猫在夜间狩猎啮齿动物和鸟类，也捕猎附近农场的家禽。
