'''Brasilodontidae''' is an extinct [[family (biology)|family]] of [[cynodont]]s closely related to mammals. In life, brasilodontids were small-bodied and probably [[insectivorous]].<ref name=BJF12>{{cite journal| last1 = Bonaparte | first1 = Jose F.| title = Evolution of the Brasilodontidae (Cynodontia-Eucynodontia)| journal = Historical Biology| pages = 1–11| year = 2012| doi = 10.1080/08912963.2012.731154| url = http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/08912963.2012.731154| format = pdf}}</ref> Most brasilodontid remains are known from the [[Middle Triassic|Middle]] and [[Late Triassic]] of Brazil, having been found in the municipalities of [[Candelária, Rio Grande do Sul|Candelária]] and [[Faxinal do Soturno]]. The species ''[[Brasilodon|Brasilodon quadrangularis]]'', is known only from [[Paleorrota]].

An Indian species of cynodont called ''[[Panchetocynodon damodarensi]]'' has also been assigned to Brasilodontidae. It dates back to the [[Early Triassic]], tremendously extending the temporal range of the family.<ref name=BJF12/>
