厚鸵属（学名：Pachystruthio）为栖息于上新世晚期至更新世中期欧亚大陆上已灭绝的鸟类^[1]，化石发现于匈牙利、克里米亚共和国、罗马尼亚、乔治亚及中国^[2]。厚鸵属下共有3种：P. pannonicus（模式种）、P. dmanisensis与P. transcaucasicus，这些种早先均被分类至鸵鸟属。于中国泥河湾组（英语：Nihewan Formation）所发现的不完整的股骨化石，目前也暂定时分类于厚鸵属。P. dmanisensis的顶高估计可达3.5米（11英尺），体重可达450千克（990磅），远大于现存的鸵鸟，为目前已知体型最大的鸟类之一^[1]。

虽然厚鸵属常被昵称为是“巨型鸵鸟”，但牠们与现存鸵鸟属的亲缘关系仍属未知^[1]^[3]。
