Stegodontidae is an extinct family of proboscideans that lived from the Miocene through Pleistocene period endemic to Africa and Asia from 20.43 to 3.6 Ma, living for approximately 16.83 million years. Although commonly regarded a family, they are often seen as a subfamily (Stegodontinae) of the true elephants (family Elephantidae).
