鹿豚属（Babyrousa）为猪科鹿豚亚科下的唯一一个属，分布于印尼苏拉威西岛、托吉安群岛、苏拉群岛及布鲁岛。此属所有成员原先被认为是单一物种，但现已分成几个物种。

最初鹿豚只有单一物种，就是B. babyrussa。不过，鹿豚现已分裂成为几个物种，而原有的学名则归属了巴比如萨猪鹿所有。此属内最著名的成员则名为西里伯斯鹿豚。新的分类是基于演化种概念而来，牠们在体型、毛发的数量及头颅骨和牙齿的大小上有所不同。

The babirusas, also called pig-deer (modern Indonesian:babirusa) are a genus, Babyrousa, in the pig family (Suidae) found in Wallacea, or specifically the Indonesian islands of Sulawesi, Togian, Sula and Buru. All members of this genus were considered part of a single species until 2002, the babirusa, B. babyrussa, but following the split into several species, this scientific name is restricted to the Buru babirusa from Buru and Sula, whereas the best-known species, the north Sulawesi babirusa, is named B. celebensis. The remarkable "prehistoric" appearance of these mammals is largely due to the prominent upwards incurving canine tusks of the males, which actually pierce the flesh in the snout. If a babirusa does not grind its tusks (achievable through regular activity), they can eventually keep growing so as to penetrate the animal's own skull.
