Hyaenodontinae ("hyena teeth") is an extinct subfamily of predatory placental mammals from extinct family Hyaenodontidae. Fossil remains of these mammals are known from early Eocene to early Miocene deposits in Europe, Asia and North America.{{cite book |last1=McKenna |first1=Malcolm C. |last2=Bell |first2=Susan K. |title=Classification of Mammals Above the Species Level |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OLYifwU8bqQC&pg=PP9 |access-date=16 March 2015 |year=1997 |publisher=Columbia University Press |location=New York |isbn=978-0-231-11012-9}}{{cite journal |last1=Solé |first1=F. |last2=Falconnet |first2=J. |last3=Yves |first3=L. |year=2014 |title=New proviverrines (Hyaenodontida) from the early Eocene of Europe; phylogeny and ecological evolution of the Proviverrinae |journal=Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society |volume=171 |issue=4 |pages=878–917 |doi=10.1111/zoj.12155 |doi-access=free}}{{cite journal |author1=Floréal Solé |author2=Bastien Mennecart |year=2019 |title=A large hyaenodont from the Lutetian of Switzerland expands the body mass range of the European mammalian predators during the Eocene |journal=Acta Palaeontologica Polonica |volume=64 |issue=2 |pages=275–290 |doi=10.4202/app.00581.2018 |doi-access=free}}
