Sivapithecus (terj. har. 'Kera Siwa') (sinonim: Ramapithecus) adalah sebuah genus kera punah. Sisa fosil hewan yang berasal dari genus tersebut, yang berasal dari 12.2 juta tahun lalu[1] pada zaman Miosen, ditemukan sejak abad ke-19 di Perbukitan Sivalik, anak benua India serta di Kutch. Salah satu spesies dalam genus tersebut mungkin merupakan leluhur dari orangutan modern.
Beberapa temuan awal diberikan nama terpisah Ramapithecus (Kera Rama) dan Bramapithecus (Kera Brahma), dan dianggap sebagai leluhur manusia.
