Carodnia vieirai is an extinct meridiungulate mammal from the Paleocene of South America. It is related to, and possibly gave rise to the order Pyrotheria, into which some experts also place Carodnia.

In life, it would have been a tapir-sized animal. It bore strong resemblances to both some condylarths and to dinoceratans, although without tusks or ossicones.
