Acinonyx is 'n soogdiergenus uit die Felidae-familie.
Dit is vandag dwarsoor Afrika en Asië verspreid, hoewel dit voorheen ook in Europa voorgekom het. Die jagluiperd is die enigste oorblywende spesies van hierdie genus. Wozencraft (1993) plaas die Acinonyx in hul eie eenstammige subfamilie, die Acinonychinae. Salles (1992), Johnson & O'Brien (1997), Bininda-Emonds et al. (1999), en Mattern & McLennan (2000) reken die Acinonyx, Puma concolor (Poema) , en Puma (= Herpailurus) yagouaroundi (Jaguarandi) as verteenwoordigers uit naverwante sustergroepe.
