Euphoberia is an extinct genus of millipede from the Pennsylvanian period measuring up to 30 centimetres (12 in) in length.^[1] Fossils have been found in Europe^[2] and North America.^[3]

There has been uncertainty about the appropriate classification of Euphoberia since its description in 1868: it has been referred to as a centipede,^[4] millipede, or a separate, independent group within the myriapods.^[5]^[6] It is currently placed in the Archipolypoda, an extinct group of millipedes.^[3]
