Palaeolama () is an extinct genus of lamine camelids that existed from the Pleistocene to the Holocene (). Their range extended from North America to the intertropical region of South America.

== Description == Palaeolama species were relatives of modern lamines that lived in the New World from the Pleistocene around 1.9 million years ago to potentially the Holocene epoch around 3,353–4,231 years cal. Before Present (BP). Fossil evidence suggests that it had a slender head, elongate snout, and stocky legs. They likely weighed around or up to , surpassing the weight of modern llamas.
