Hyaenodonta (sometimes referred as "Hyaenodontida"^[1]) is an extinct group of hypercarnivorous eutherian mammals,^[2] originally classified along with the oxyaenids as part of Creodonta.^[3] Hyaenodonts may have evolved in Africa in the Paleocene.^[4]

Hyaenodonts differed from Carnivora in that they replaced their deciduous dentition earlier in development than carnivorans.^[5]
