Hyosciurus is a genus of rodent in the Sciuridae family endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia.
It contains the following species:
- Montane Long-nosed Squirrel (Hyosciurus heinrichi)
- Lowland Long-nosed Squirrel (Hyosciurus ileile)
The genus name is a combination of Greek hys, hyos 'pig' and skiouros 'squirrel', in reference to the snouts which are relatively long compared to other squirrels.
