鬣齿兽科学名Hyaenodontidae)是已灭绝肉齿目下的一,其下包含了几十动物

鬣齿兽科于古新世晚期出现,并一直繁衍至中新世[1]牠们比相关的牛鬣兽科分布更为广泛及成功。[2]牠们有长的头颅骨,幼长的身体,及倾向于跖行。牠们肩高约30-140厘米。[2]当中的巨鬣齿兽可以重约500公斤,而大部分介乎于5-15公斤,如中等的大小。[3]牠们的头颅骨化石显示牠们有敏锐的嗅觉,而牙齿亦很适合撕开食物,而非咬碎。[2]

由于鬣齿兽科的不同体型,估计牠们会以不同的方式来捕猎。细小的可能是成群的在夜间猎食,较大的则可能是单独于日间猎食的。牠们的第二上及第三下臼齿裂肉齿

鬣齿兽科分布在北美洲非洲[4][5],且是渐新世欧亚大陆、非洲及北美洲上非常重要的大型肉食动物,但后来不名食肉目而差不多在渐新世末完全消失。其中只有四个属,包括伟鬣兽属HyainailourosDissopsalis鬣齿兽属下的Hyaenodon weilini,生存至中新世,而当中只有Dissopsalis可以延续至中新世末期。
