Chilenophoberus is an extinct genus of decapod crustaceans that lived during the Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic period in what is now Cordillera de Domeyko, Chile.

The only known remains of Chilenophoberus were collected from Cordillera de Domeyko, Chile.

The generic name references its country of origin, Chile, and Acanthacaris (formerly known as Phoberus), which it was once thought to be related to.

[1] This classification was followed until 1997, when phylogenetic analysis carried out by Tshudy & Babcock found that these genera (as well as Tillocheles) form a family separate from Nephropidae.

[2] In 2013, Karasawa et al. declared that Chilenophoberidae was a paraphyletic grouping, with Stenochiridae nested within.
