Africanictis is an extinct genus of carnivorous cat-like mammals belonging to the infraorder Aeluroidea, endemic to Africa for approximately 11.42 million years, from 23.03 to 11.610 Ma, during the Miocene epoch.

[1] Africanictis is thought to have had an omnivorous—or more precisely hypercarnivorous to mesocarnivorous—diet.

[2][3] Africanictis was named by Morales et al. (1998).

It was assigned to Stenoplesictidae by Morlo et al.
