Phoberomys burmeisteri is an extinct rodent that lived in the late Miocene of southern South America. Their remains were recovered from the Ituzaingó Formation in Entre Ríos Province, Argentina.^[1]

Many species of Phoberomys (P. praecursor, P. insolita, P. lozanoi and P. minima) were described for the Ituzaingó Formation, but were recently synonymized with P. burmeisteri.^[1]
