See text Kolpochoerus is an extinct genus of the pig family Suidae related to the modern-day genera Hylochoerus, Phacochoerus, and Potamochoerus.

It is believed that most of them inhabited African forests, as opposed to the bushpig and red river hog that inhabit open brush and savannas.

There are currently eleven recognized species.

In taxonomic order:[citation needed] Based on dental microwear texture analysis, K. afarensis had a broad, unspecialised diet that included foods that were hard and brittle as well as underground foods such as roots and tubers.
