Antarctodon is an extinct genus of mammals from the Early Eocene (late Ypresian age). It is a basal astrapotherian which lived in what is now Seymour Island, Antarctic Peninsula, at that moment still connected to South America where most of the astrapotherians were found.

Antarctodon is one of few eutherian mammals, as well as one of the last known terrestrial vertebrates, found in Antarctica. [8] The most famous member of the order is undoubtedly Astrapotherium, a 3 m (9.8 ft) long elephant-like animal that had lost its upper incisors and developed ever-growing canine tusks.
