Angelarctocyon is an extinct genus of Amphicyonidae (bear dog), which belongs to the order Carnivora.

It was originally interpreted as a miacid and named Miacis australis; however, recent research has suggested it is an early amphicyonid.{{Cite journal|author1=Susumu Tomiya |author2=Zhijie Jack Tseng |year=2016 |title=Whence the beardogs?
