Notnamaia is a genus of primates that lived in Africa during the early middle Eocene. It contains one species, N. bogenfelsi. Its describers considered it to be an early simian, but other researchers have generally placed it within Strepsirrhini, possibly aligned with the djebelemurids or caenopithecines.
