Anisodon (Greek: "unequal" (anisos), "teeth" (odontes){{cite web|url=https://research.amnh.org/paleontology/perissodactyl/concepts/glossary|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211120123130/https://research.amnh.org/paleontology/perissodactyl/concepts/glossary|archive-date=20 November 2021|title=Glossary. American Museum of Natural History}}) is an extinct genus of chalicothere that lived in Europe during the late Miocene. It stood at about {{convert|150|cm|abbr=on}} and weighed around {{convert|600|kg|abbr=on}}. It is thought that the animal's clawed forelimbs would have allowed it to pull down tree branches in order to browse, as well as deter Miocene predators such as bear-dogs and saber-toothed cats.
