Panthera youngi is a fossil cat species that was described in 1934; fossil remains of this cat were excavated in a Homo erectus formation in Choukoutien, northeastern China.

[1] Upper and lower jaws excavated in Japan's Yamaguchi Prefecture were also attributed to this species.

It was suggested that it was conspecific with Panthera atrox and P. spelaea due to their extensive similarities.

Some dental similarities were also noted with the older P. fossilis, however, Panthera youngi showed more derived features.
