'''''Buginbaatar''''' is an extinct genus of [[mammal]] from the Upper [[Cretaceous]] of [[Mongolia]]. It is a member of the extinct order [[Multituberculata]], within the suborder [[Cimolodonta]] and family [[Cimolomyidae]]. It lived towards the end of the [[Mesozoic]] era.

The genus ''Buginbaatar'' was named by Kielan-Jaworowska Z. and Sochava A.V. in 1969 based on the remains of a single species. Remains of this species, dubbed ''Buginbaatar clarki'', were found in Upper Cretaceous [[Stratum|strata]] of the [[Nemegt Formation]] of Bügiyn Tsav in Mongolia.
   
This is the only known Upper Cretaceous Mongolian multituberculate not to belong to the family [[Djadochtatherioidea]]. Remains are incomplete and the assignment of ''B.'' to the [[Cimolomyidae]] is tentative, (Kielan-Jaworowska & Hurum 2001, p.&nbsp;408).
