Afrosmilus is a fossil genus of afrosmilin barbourofelid.

It lived in Africa during the middle Miocene.

The species Pseudaelurus africanus was first described in 1914;[1] in 1929 it was assigned to the new genus Afrosmilus by Miklós Kretzoi.

[3] In 2001, a third species, Afrosmilus hispanicus, was described along with the closely related genus Ginsburgsmilus; for these earlier African barbourofelines the tribe Afrosmilini was erected.
