**데구과**(Octodontidae)는 남아메리카 남서부에 제한적으로 서식하는 설치류과의 하나이다. 9개 속, 13종을 포함하고 있다. 가장 많이 알려진 종은 데구(*Octodon degus*)이다.

애완동물로 기르기도 한다. 주행성에 쾌활한 성격,털달린 꼬리,설치류 치곤 긴 수명이 데구의 애완동물로써의 장점으로 매우 최근에 애완동물 가게에서 팔리기 시작했다. 데구의 꼬리는 끊어지기 쉽고 잡아서 끊어지면 매우 고통받으므로 절대 손으로 잡으면 안 된다. 만약 끊어지면 다시 자라지 않는다. 데구에게는 정기적인 모래목욕이 필요한데, 친칠라 목욕모래 제품을 쓰는 게 이상적이다. 다른 설치류와 달리 완전 초식성이다. 데구는 영리해서 길들이기가 좋다. 종종 인간 주인에게 "그루밍"을 해 주기도 한다.
