Paraxiphodon is an extinct genus of Palaeogene artiodactyls belonging to the Xiphodontidae that lived in western Europe during the Late Eocene. It was named by Jean Sudre and contains only one species P. teulonensis. It is similar in size to the close relative Xiphodon and, although differing little from the genus, is recorded to be distinct based on specific premolar traits. It is currently only known from deposits at a specific French location, meaning that its temporal range is seemingly small.
