Euphoberia is an extinct genus of myriapod. With a length of 1 m (3 ft 4 in), it was about four times the length of the largest modern-day species, Scolopendra gigantea. Fossils are found in Europe and North America.

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