Palaeoloxodon creutzburgi is an extinct species of elephant known from the Middle-Late Pleistocene of Crete.

It is a descendant of the large mainland species Palaeoloxodon antiquus.

P. chaniensis from Stylos and in Vamos cave, Chania, west Crete[1][3][4] is considered to be a junior synonym of P. creutzburgi.

It had undergone insular dwarfism, being approximately 40% of the size of its mainland ancestor, and was around the size of the living Asian elephant.

[5] It lived alongside the radiation of Candiacervus deer endemic to the island, the mouse Mus batae-minotaurus, the Cretan otter, and the Cretan shrew.
