Nanoastegotherium is an extinct genus of cingulate, belonging to the family Dasypodidae, which includes the modern nine-banded armadillos. The name of the genus means "small Astegotherium", referring to its small size, smaller than the modern southern long-nosed armadillo, and to its affinities with Astegotherium, with which it forms the tribe , within the family Dasypodidae. Its type species is Nanoastegotherium prostatum, whose species translates to "earlier" due to its age compared to Astegotherium.

| - Nanoastegotherium es un género extinto de mamífero cingulado perteneciente a la familia de los dasipódidos, que engloba a los actuales armadillos. El nombre del género significa en griego "pequeño Astegotherium" refiriéndose a su pequeño tamaño (menor que el actual armadillo mulita, Dasypus hybridus) y a su parentesco con , con el que forman la tribu dentro de la familia Dasypodidae. La especie tipo es N. prostatum, cuyo nombre traduce "anterior" por ser más antiguo que Astegotherium. (es)

El nombre del género significa en griego "pequeño Astegotherium" refiriéndose a su pequeño tamaño (menor que el actual armadillo mulita, Dasypus hybridus) y a su parentesco con , con el que forman la tribu dentro de la familia Dasypodidae. La especie tipo es N. prostatum, cuyo nombre traduce "anterior" por ser más antiguo que Astegotherium. Los restos de esta especie provienen del yacimiento fósil de La Venta, en la formación La Victoria, en la zona central de la actual Colombia, a mediados del Mioceno. Sus restos, que aparecieron entre los coprolitos (excremento fosilizado) de un cocodrilo, constan de las piezas óseas del caparazón de la zona de la espalda (osteodermos) y la coraza de la cola o tubo caudal. Dichas placas son escudos fijos que se caracterizan por su forma rectangular con grandes perforaciones sobre la superficie de los mismos, midiendo cada escudo unos 4 a 7 milímetros de largo y 3 a 4.5 milímetros de ancho. Aparentemente, Nanoastegotherium es un pariente cercano de un género de armadillo del Mioceno de Argentina en la formación Sarmiento, , al que se parece en las características de sus osteodermos.

Its type species is Nanoastegotherium prostatum, whose species translates to "earlier" due to its age compared to Astegotherium. Remains of this species comes from La Venta, a location of La Victoria Formation, from central Colombia, dated from the Middle Miocene. Its remains, discovered among the coprolites of crocodiles, consist of the osteoderms of its back and of a caudal tube. These osteoderms were characterized by their rectangular shape with large perforations on their surface, each osteoderms measuring between 4 and 7 millimeters long and 3 to 4.5 millimeters wide. Nanoastegotherium was apparently closely related with . (en)
