''Supayacetus'' (after Supay, the Incan god of death, and ''ketos'' Greek for whale) is an extinct genus of basilosaurid cetacean from Middle Eocene (Bartonian stage) deposits of southern Peru.
''Supayacetus'' is known from the holotype MUSM 1465, a partial skeleton. It was collected in the Archaeocete Valley site, from the Paracas Formation of the Pisco Basin about . It was named by and the type species ''S. muizoni'' honours palaeontologist Christian de Muizon who has contributed considerably to Peruvian palaeontology.
Distinguishing characters of ''Supayacetus'' include: a T-shaped manubrium with a rod-shaped process; cheek teeth with accessory denticles; a broad scapula with a large infraspinous fossa; humerus with large and hemispherical head, well-defined proximal tuberosities, a long deltopectoral crest, and a broad shaft. Compared to other basilosaurids, ''Supayacetus'' is larger than ''Protocetus'' but its skull and vertebrae are smaller than in other basilosaurids.
