This is a list of mammals native to Queensland in Australia.
The following tags are used to highlight each species' conservation status as assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature:
| Extinct | No reasonable doubt that the last individual has died. | |
| Extinct in the wild | Known only to survive in captivity or as a naturalized populations well outside its previous range. | |
| Critically endangered | The species is in imminent risk of extinction in the wild. | |
| Endangered | The species is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. | |
| Vulnerable | The species is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild. | |
| Near threatened | The species does not meet any of the criteria that would categorise it as risking extinction but it is likely to do so in the future. | |
| Least concern | There are no current identifiable risks to the species. | |
| Data deficient | There is inadequate information to make an assessment of the risks to this species. |
