Euphoberia is an extinct genus of centipede. With a length of 1 m (3 ft 4 in), it was about four times the size of the largest contemporary species, Scolopendra gigantea.

There are varying opinions about the appropriate classification of Euphoberia. Some experts believe it is a millipede while some feel it is a primitive centipede.
