Neotamias is a genus of chipmunk in the subtribe Tamiina of the tribe Marmotini within the squirrel family Sciuridae, named by A. H. Howell in 1929 with the type species Eutamias merriami. It encompasses twenty three species, predominantly inhabiting western North America. Scientists often consider this genus, alongside the closely related Eutamias, a subgenus of Tamias, which today refers only to the eastern chipmunk of North America.
