Chasicobradys is an extinct genus of ground sloths of the family Nothrotheriidae that lived in what is now Argentina. Chasicobradys was discovered in the Arroyo Chasicó Formation, in Buenos Aires Province. It is only known from jaw fragments and teeth, which allowed the identification of this species, and was classified as a member of the nothrotheriid subfamily Nothrotheriinae, which comprises small to medium-sized species of ground sloths.
