Carcharoides is an extinct genus of mackerel shark which lived during the Oligocene and Miocene epochs.

It is a widespread genus, known from specimens in North and South America, Europe, Africa, and Australia.

C. totuserratus is a rarer serrated species which exists in the early Miocene.

C. tenuidens is a junior synonym of C. totuserratus once applied to teeth from the late oligocene of Australia.

Possible transitional teeth from C. catticus to C. totuserratus are known from the late Oligocene Chandler Bridge Formation of South Carolina.
