Stegoloxodon is an extinct genus of dwarf elephant known from the Early Pleistocene of Indonesia.

[2][5] Some authors have suggested a close relationship to Loxodonta (which is not known outside of Africa) or to Elephas planifrons (which is known from the Late Pliocene-Early Pleistocene of South Asia).

[7] The molar plates of both species are low-crowned with thick enamel, with the lamellae frequency being notably higher in S. celebensis than in S.

[5] Lower tusks are present in some adult individuals of S. celebensis, unlike modern elephants, which is either suggested to have been a retained ancestral trait lost in modern elephants,[8] or the result of paedomorphosis as a consequence of dwarfism,[3] with the mandibular symphysis of S. celebensis being downwardly turned.

The skull of S. celebensis is short and tall, with fronto-parietal crests, and slightly curved upper tusks.
