Necromanis is an extinct genus of pangolins from the Miocene of France. Necromanis is descended from the Eocene pangolins of genus Eomanis.

From what can be derived from the fossil specimens, the species of Necromanis were, for the most part, identical to modern Manis pangolins in anatomy, diet, and behavior.

There are at least three species recognized.
