77 species of wild mammals can be found the U.S. state of Missouri. Of these, 30 species are rodents, 16 are bats, 15 are carnivorans, 7 are eulipotyphlans, 3 are artiodactyls, another 3 are lagomorphs, and the armadillos, opposums, primates each have one species in the state. Most species have established populations, but some, such as the grey wolf, are not native to the state but are still spotted on rare occasions. Two species, the eastern small-footed myotis and little brown bat are classified as endangered species by the IUCN. Other species, such as feral or domesticated mammals, are not included on this list.
Most species listed in this article are derived from the work The Wild Mammals of Missouri, a 2001 catalogue of all known wild mammal species in the state.[1]: v–vi Three species in the book, the red wolf (Canis rufus),[2] Townsend's big-eared bat (Corynorhinus townsendii),[3] and white-tailed jackrabbit (Lepus townsendii)[4] are not included as there are no longer any individuals present in Missouri.

Townsend's big-eared bat (Corynorhinus townsendii) is mostly found in western North America; one of its subspecies, the Ozark big-eared bat (C. townsendii ingens), is a federally endangered subspecies that used to occur in Missouri, but there have been no official sightings here since the early 1970s. It is currently considered extirpated from the state but is still found in Arkansas and Oklahoma.

The distribution and abundance of the white-tailed jackrabbit Lepus townsendii have declined significantly since 1950... We note its extirpation in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma, and potential extirpation in British Columbia, Oregon, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
