黑尾袋鼠(学名:Wallabia bicolor)是袋鼠科黑尾袋鼠属中唯一的一个种。与其它小袋鼠相比它在身体结构和繁殖方式上有所不同,因此自成一属,而没有被列入大袋鼠属。

This wallaby is also commonly known as the black wallaby, with other names including black-tailed wallaby, fern wallaby, black pademelon, stinker (in Queensland), and black stinker (in New South Wales) on account of its characteristic swampy odour.

The swamp wallaby is the only living member of the genus Wallabia.
