Hyaenodonta ("gigi hiena") adalah sebuah ordo punah yang sebagian besar mencakup mamalia berplasenta karnivor dalam klad Pan-Carnivora dari mirordo Ferae.^[6][7] Hyaenodonta adalah mamalia predator penting yang diyakini muncul pada Kapur Akhir^[8][9] atau Paleosen Awal di Eropa, dan bertahan hingga Miosen Akhir.^[10][11] Hyaenodonta ditemukan di sekujur Afrika, Eurasia dan Amerika Utara selama Kenozoikum dan mendiami berbagai jenis ekosistem, dari hutan hingga pesisir. Mereka menunjukkan beraneka ragam bentuk tubuh, ukuran dan makanan. Mulai dari predator sergap seperti Hyainailouros hingga Hyaenodon, yang beberapa spesiesnya kursorial.
