副剑齿虎属（学名：Paramachairodus）是一种已灭绝的剑齿虎亚科剑齿虎。分布于1500万至900万年前中新世末期的欧洲和亚洲。

副剑齿虎是已知最古老的剑齿虎，大量副剑齿虎化石发现于西班牙的马德里附近的一个中新世晚期化石点Cerro Batallones。有两具豹形化石比较出名，一具是大约处在瓦西里期到Turolian期的Paramachairodus ogygia，另一具则是完全处在Turolian期Paramachairodus orientalis。马氏副剑齿虎（Paramachairodus maximiliani）被一些作者认为是Paramachairodus orientalis的同物异名^[3]^[1]，但在新的修订中被认为是一个有效种^[2]。

副剑齿虎肩高约58厘米，与美洲豹相似，但体型更加轻盈。四肢形状显示它们是灵活的攀爬者，且可以猎杀相对大型的猎物。^[4]
