The Brown-eared Woolly Opossum (Caluromys lanatus), also known as the Ecuadoran or Western Woolly Opossum, is a woolly opossum species from South America. It is restricted to moist forests.

Just like any other member of the Caluromys genus, the Brown-eared Woolly Opossum is a strongly arboreal species of marsupial, differing from other Didelphidae opossums for having a comparatively large encephalization quotient and smaller litter size. The tail is long and heavy in more than half of its extension.

It feeds on fruits, nectar, invertebrates and small vertebrates.
