The Amazonian hocicudo (Oxymycterus amazonicus) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae from South America.

Its habitat is humid lowland forest, but it has also been found in secondary-growth woodland and in scrubby areas bordering cassava and rice fields.

[2] The Amazonian hocicudo is preyed on by snakes, as demonstrated by the fact that one specimen was found in the stomach of a pit viper (Bothrops spp).

[2] The Amazonian hocicudo occurs over a wide range, and although the population trend is unknown, it is described as being a widespread and common species.

No specific threats have been identified and it occurs in a number of protected areas, so the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed it as being a species of "least concern".
