Klameliidae is a family of extinct mammals from the Jurassic which are closely related to the Gobiconodonts.{{Cite journal|author=A. O. Averianov and A. V.

They are distinguished from Gobiconodonts by parallelogram shaped lower molariforms and other slight differences in dental topography.{{Cite journal |last=Martin |first=Thomas |last2=Averianov |first2=Alexander O. |date=2007-01-01 |title=A previously unrecognized group of Middle Jurassic triconodontan mammals from Central Asia |url=https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00114-006-0155-5 |journal=Naturwissenschaften |language=en |volume=94 |issue=1 |pages=43–48 |doi=10.1007/s00114-006-0155-5 |issn=1432-1904}}
