Qarunavus is an extinct genus of mammals in the order Ptolemaiida.
A single species, Qarunavus meyeri is known from the Lower Oligocene Jebel Qatrani Formation of modern-day Egypt.
Described by Elwyn Simons & Philip Gingerich in 1974, the genus name is a combination of Qarun, the Arabic term for Lake Moeris, and -avus, Latin for "ancestor".
The specific epithet honors Grant E. Mayer of the Yale Peabody Museum.
