Nelepsittacus is a genus of extinct New Zealand parrots that is closely related to the genus Nestor (the living kaka and kea). It consists of four species, of which three have been named so far. The species are all known from the early Miocene Saint Bathans Fauna from the Lower Bannockburn Formation in Otago in New Zealand. Features in their skeletons, namely the coracoid, humerus, tibiotarsus, and tarsometatarsus, that they share only with the Nestor parrots link them to that genus.

- Nelepsittacus – rodzaj wymarłych ptaków z rodziny kakapowatych (Strigopidae). Okres ich istnienia datowany jest na wczesny miocen, 19–16 mln lat temu. Szczątki kopalne odnaleziono w regionie Otago na terenie Wyspy Południowej, u wybrzeży rzeki . Nazwa rodzajowa członem Nele- nawiązuje do postaci Neleusa, zaś drugi jej człon -psittacus pochodzi od greckiego słowa psittakos oznaczającego papugę. Do rodzaju należą trzy gatunki:
* – gatunek typowy; 17 skamielin
* – 60 skamielin
* – 6 skamielin (pl)

| - Nelepsittacus is a genus of extinct New Zealand parrots that is closely related to the genus Nestor (the living kaka and kea). It consists of four species, of which three have been named so far. The species are all known from the early Miocene Saint Bathans Fauna from the Lower Bannockburn Formation in Otago in New Zealand. Features in their skeletons, namely the coracoid, humerus, tibiotarsus, and tarsometatarsus, that they share only with the Nestor parrots link them to that genus. Flora from the Saint Bathans fauna fossil beds indicate these parrots were found in a subtropical rainforest habitat. Following the early to mid Miocene, there was a drop in temperature, which led to a loss of local flora and fauna. This loss of native Nelepsittacus parrots likely spurred the proliferation of Cyanoramphus parrots, a more recent migrant from the southwest Pacific. The largest known fossil species of parrot, Heracles inexpectatus, was described in 2019 from bones also identified as early Miocene St Bathans fauna. The generic epithet Heracles was named as an allusion to this genus, in one mythic tradition the Greek hero Herakles slew the king Neleus. (en)

* – 6 skamielin Odnaleziono łącznie 85 skamielin; dwie spośród nich reprezentują czwarty gatunek, jednakże jeszcze nieopisany. Kości skoku (tarsometatarsus) prezentują dwie unikatowe dla rodzaju cechy, jedna występuje także u przedstawicieli Nestor. Szerokość kości skokowej u nasady dalszej od ciała to około 30% jej długości. (pl)
