鹿角兔是民间传说中，长有鹿角的野兔。

美国怀俄明州的道格拉斯被认为是鹿角兔传说的起源地；根据传说，鹿角兔最早曾在1829年被人看见。当地甚至有一个鹿角兔节日，通常在6月举行。

鹿角兔传说的普及化通常归功给Douglas Herrick，怀俄明州道格拉斯镇的居民，标本店的老板。1930年代，Douglas和他的兄弟Ralph开始贩售填充的鹿角兔头部给大众，而且变得家喻户晓。

The jackalope is a mythical animal of North American folklore (a so-called fearsome critter) described as a jackrabbit with antelope horns. The word "jackalope" is a portmanteau of "jackrabbit" and "antelope", although the jackrabbit is not a rabbit, and the American antelope is not an antelope. Also, many jackalope taxidermy mounts, including the original, are actually made with deer antlers.
