The Shiny Guinea Pig, "Cavia fulgida", is a guinea pig species from South America. It is found in Brazil.

Wagler in 1831 first called the species "Cavia fulgida"; P. W. Lund identified a "Cavia rufescens" in 1841, but since Oldfield Thomas (1901) these are considered to be identical species.citation | last = Weir | first = Barbara J. | contribution = Notes on the Origin of the Domestic Guinea-Pig | editor-last = Rowlands | editor-first = I.
