鼬狐猴属（学名 sportive lemurs），灵长目鼬狐猴科（嬉猴科）现存的唯一一属。与其他狐猴一样，它们也生活在非洲的马达加斯加岛上。共有20多种。

鼬狐猴体毛为灰褐色或红褐色，腹部为乳白色。它们的头较短，耳朵大而圆。体长通常为30-35厘米（尾长相当），体重可达0.9公斤。

鼬狐猴只在晚上活动，栖息在树林中，通过强壮的后腿在林间跳跃。在地面上，它们像袋鼠一样跳跃。白天，鼬狐猴躲藏在树荫处或树洞中，一般为独居。

鼬狐猴的食物以树叶为主。

雌鼬狐猴在每年的九月至十二月产仔，怀孕期为120-150天。每胎一仔，一般产在树洞的巢穴中。断奶期为四个月，18个月后完全成熟。寿命约为八年。

The sportive lemurs are the medium-sized primates that make up the family Lepilemuridae. The family consists of only one extant genus, Lepilemur. They are closely related to the other lemurs and exclusively live on the island of Madagascar. For a time, this family was named Megaladapidae, but the current name was given precedence since the extinct genus Megaladapis was removed from the family.
