Mixcoatlus é um género de víboras venenosas endémicas do México (estados de Oaxaca, Guerrero e Puebla). Foi criado em 2011.[1]

O nome Mixcoatlus deriva do termo nauatle, "serpente das nuvens", uma deidade entre os astecas e outras civilizações mesoamericanas. O nome faz também referência ao facto de estes animais se encontrarem apenas em altitudes acima dos 2 000 metros.[1]

Existem três espécies:[1]

  • Mixcoatlus browni (Shreve, 1938)
  • Mixcoatlus barbouri (Dunn, 1919)
  • Mixcoatlus melanurus (Müller, 1923)
