''Hahnodon'' is a genus of extinct mammal of the Lower Cretaceous. It is generally considered to be a relatively early member of the also extinct order Multituberculata, but some studies suggest that it was instead a haramiyid.〔S. Anantharaman, G. P. Wilson, D. C.

DOI: 10.1029/GM041p0207〕 It lived in Morocco during the "age of the dinosaurs." It is the only genus within the family Hahnodontidae. The family Hahnodontidae and genus ''Hahnodon'' ("Hahn's tooth") were named by Sigogneau-Russell D. in 1991. Fossil remains of the single species ''Hahnodon taqueti'' consist of a single lower molar found in Lower Cretaceous strata in Morocco. == References == * Sigogneau-Russell (1991), "First evidence of Multituberculata (Mammalia) in the Mesozoic of Africa".
