犬属（学名：Canis）是食肉目犬科下的一个属，共有5个现生种，包括被认为是家犬（Canis lupus familiaris）祖先的灰狼（Canis lupus）。与犬属较近的属是非洲野犬属，而较远的则有伪狐属和其他的南美胡狼。犬属中还有许多已经灭绝的物种，这是一个很古老的属，可追溯至中新世晚期。

犬属现生成员包括5个物种，即埃塞俄比亚狼（Canis simensis）、亚洲胡狼（Canis aureus）[1]、金狼（Canis lupaster）、郊狼（Canis latrans）和灰狼（Canis lupus）[2]。犬属曾经还包括侧纹胡狼（Canis adustus）和黑背胡狼（Canis mesomelas），但现在已经根据遗传学上的证据将它们归入胡狼属（Lupulella）。而发现的各种大型犬族化石则一般全部都归入犬属。[3]
犬属是第四纪的标志属，在食肉类化石中数量往往非常多。犬属也是生物地层学重要的标志物种，欧洲有多个迁徙事件就是以一些大型犬族的出现作为标志。[3]
