Protopelicanus cuvierii é unha especie fósil de suposta ave acuática de afinidades incertas. Foi brevemente descrita e debuxada por Georges Cuvier en 1822 a partir de material do Eoceno tardío de Montmartre, Francia, aínda que non foi formalmente descrita e nomeada ata 1852 polo botánico e ornitólogo alemán Ludwig Reichenbach como un Pelecanidae temperán. O material orixinal constaba da parte cranial da escápula esquerda e un fémur esquerdo case completo. O fémur lectotipo foi considerado por Michel Brunet en 1970 como típico dun pelicano. Porén, Colin Harrison en 1979 considerou que pertencía a Sulidae, e Storrs Olson en 1995 pensaba que podería ser un pelagornítido. O fémur consérvase no Muséum national d'histoire naturelle de París (No.7978); a localización do fragmento escapular descoñécese.[1]
