Anthracobunidae is an extinct family of stem perissodactyls that lived in the early to middle Eocene period.

They were originally considered to be a paraphyletic family of primitive proboscideans[3] possibly ancestral to the Moeritheriidae and the desmostylians.

[4] They superficially resemble the Moeritheriidae in both size and cheek tooth morphology, but lack their characteristic tusks.

Analyses of stable isotopes and long bone geometry suggest most anthracobunids fed on terrestrial vegetation, but lived near water.

[1] The same cladistic analyses that prompted their new placement also imply that the semiaquatic marine desmostylians, another putative non-African afrotherian group, were closely related to the anthracobunids.
