Imagocnus is an extinct genus of ground sloth from the early Miocene of Cuba.

This sloth resided in the Antilles and showed a range of body size. Its relationships to other Antillean sloths are not immediately clear, though the genera Megalocnus and Parocnus,other ground sloths, are its most likely relatives.[1]
