Kelenken is een geslacht van uitgestorven vogels dat behoort tot de schrikvogels (Phorusrhacidae), een familie van vleesetende vogels die niet konden vliegen.
Kelenken, discovered in Argentinian Patagonia, were large, flightless birds with long hind limbs, narrow pelves, very small wings, and huge skulls, with a tall, long, sideways compressed hooked beak. They are thought to have been ground predators or scavengers and have often been considered apex predators that dominated Cenozoic South America in the absence of placental mammalian predators, though they did co-exist with some large, carnivorous mammals.
