Tuco-tuco adalah sejenis hewan pengerat neotropis pada famili Ctenomyidae.^[1]^[2] Tuco-tuco masuk kedalam satu-satunya genus hidup pada famili Ctenomyidae, Ctenomys, namun mereka mencakup sekitar 60 spesies berbeda. Nama umumnya, "Tuco-tuco", berasal dari suara "tuk-tuk" yang mereka hasilkan saat menggali galian mereka.^[3]

Mereka mengisi relung ekologis yang sebelumnya diambil oleh hewan-hewan gondwanatheria seperti Patagonia pada saat masa Kenozoikum.^[4]
