Megalotragus (from Greek mega (μέλα) 'great' and tragos (τράγος) 'goat') was a genus of very large extinct African alcelaphines that occurred from the Pliocene to early Holocene.

[1][2] Its skull resembled that of modern hartebeests, but it differed in having a larger body size and wildebeest-like proportions.

[3] Megalotragus includes some of the largest bovid species in the subfamily Alcelaphinae, reaching a shoulder height of 1.4 m (4.6 ft).

[2] With a distance between the tips of its horns of around 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in),[4] Megalotragus is probably the largest alcelaphine bovid ever recorded,[5] much bigger than the extant wildebeest.

[6] The skull of Megalotragus is similar to that of the hartebeest: characterized by extreme elongation, and the fusion and posterior placement of the horn pedicels.
