Lycophocyon is an extinct genus of caniformian carnivoran from Middle Eocene (early Duchesnean and possibly late Uintan NALMA) deposits of San Diego County, California.

All specimens were collected from numerous localities, all of them from the upper portions of "member C" of the Santiago Formation.

It was first named by Susumu Tomiya in 2011 and the type species is Lycophocyon hutchisoni.

The generic name means "twilight dog" in Greek, in references to its occurrence on the west coast of North America, and its affinity to the Caniformia.
