Chonecetus is an extinct genus of Neocene Aetiocetidae that lived in the Oligocene period. Its fossils have been found in Canada, in the northeast Pacific. It was first named by L.S. Russell in 1968, and contains two species, C. sookensis and C. goedertorum (Barnes et al. 1995). It is possibly an Archaeoceti, although a neocene member of this group is rare.
