Cookeroo is a genus of extinct kangaroos from the Late Oligocene and Early Miocene found in fossil deposits from the Riversleigh World Heritage Area, in Australia.

The genus was erected to describe two new fossil species of early Macropodidae by researchers, both of which were discovered at Riversleigh and published in 2016.

The name of the genus honours the contribution of Bernard Cooke to the study of early marsupials and the evolutionary history of the modern kangaroos and wallabies.

Unlike modern macropods, the animals moved on four legs, rather than hopping, in the dense rainforest that dominated the Riversleigh area in the early Miocene.

The genus is to have occupied an area that was also inhabited by the balbarids, a family known as fanged kangaroos, which is thought to have become extinct as the climate changed and the rainforest gave way to a more open woodland environment.
