Helladotherium is an extinct genus of sivatheriine giraffid from Europe, Africa, and Asia during the Miocene.{{cite web |last1=Roussiakis |first1=S |last2=Iliopoulos |first2=G |title=Preliminary observations on the metrical variation of Helladotherium duvernoyi and Bohlinia attic |url=http://users.uoa.gr/~srousiak/PUBLICATIONS_PDF/PUBLICATIONS/ROUSSIAKIS%20&%20ILIOPOULOS%20(2004)%20VARIATION%20OF%20HELLADOTHERIUM%20AND%20BOHLINIA.pdf |website=University of Athens |accessdate=7 June 2019}} The most complete skeleton is that of a female, based on a comparison with an intact female Sivatherium giganteum skull.

Only two species of Helladotherium have been discovered, with H. grande being larger than H. duvernoyi. The former has been found only in Pakistan.{{cite report |last=Iliopoulos |first=George |date=2003 |title=The Giraffidae (Mammalia, Artiodactyla) and the study of the histology and chemistry of fossil mammal bone from the Late Miocene of Kerassia (Euboea Island, Greece) |publisher=University of Leicester |page=93}}
