Hyaenotherium is an extinct genus of hyaenids that lived in Eurasia and Africa during the Late Miocene.^[1]^[2] The type species, H. wongii, was one of the most numerous Eurasian hyaenids. More than 100 specimens of H. wongii have been discovered in China.^[2] H. ebu from Lothagam, Kenya, differs from the type species by its limbs which are longer and significantly thinner.^[1]

Some authors argue that Hyaenotherium is a junior synonym of Hyaenictitherium (Kretzoi, 1938).^[3]^[4]
