The Bahia porcupine (Coendou insidiosus), is a New World porcupine species in the family Erethizontidae endemic to the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil.

[2] It was formerly sometimes assigned to Sphiggurus,[2] a genus no longer recognized since genetic studies showed it to be polyphyletic.

[3] Sphiggurus pallidus, formerly considered a separate species but known from two young specimens only, is a synonym of this species.
