Elephas planifrons is an extinct species of elephant, known from the Late Pliocene-Early Pleistocene of the Indian subcontinent.

[1] Members of the species retained permanent premolars, unlike living Asian elephants.

[3] Elephas planifrons represents one of the earliest dispersals of elephants outside of Africa, first arriving on the Indian subcontinent around 3.6 million years ago[4][3] (though some authors have suggested a much earlier age over 5 million years ago).

The date of the last record of the species is highly uncertain, with estimates ranging from 2.5 million to 800,000 years ago.

[2] A 2020 PhD thesis suggested that the species was not a true member of the genus Elephas, but should instead be considered a member of the genus Phanagoroloxodon with the African Pliocene species "Elephas" recki brumpti considered to be a synonym of "E".
