Soergelia is a genus of extinct ovibovine caprine that was common across Europe, North America and Asia in the Pleistocene epoch.

Species include:

Palaeoecology

δ13C, δ15N, and δ18O measurements from S. minor at the Early Pleistocene site of Venta Micena in southeastern Spain reveal it to have been a mixed feeder.
