Castoroides, or giant beaver, is an extinct genus of enormous beavers that lived in North America during the Pleistocene. C. leiseyorum and its northern sister species Castoroides ohioensis, were the largest beavers to ever exist.

Castoroides were much larger than modern beavers. Their average length was approximately 1.9 meters (6.2 feet), and they could grow as large as 2.2 meters (7.2 feet). The weight of the giant beaver could vary from 90–125 kilograms (198-276 pounds). This makes it the largest known rodent in North America during the Pleistocene and the largest known beaver.
