The New Guinean long-nosed bandicoots (genus Peroryctes) are members of the order Peramelemorphia.

They are small to medium-sized marsupial omnivores native to New Guinea.

Two fossil taxa from Australia, Peroryctes tedfordi and then-unnamed Silvicultor hamiltonensis, were originally assigned to this genus,[2] but they were subsequently transferred to the separate genus Silvicultor.
