Leptochoeridae is an extinct family of basal artiodactyl mammals from the early Eocene to late Oligocene of North America.

Taxonomy

Leptochoeridae was considered a subfamily of Dichobunidae by McKenna and Bell (1997).^[1] However, Theodor et al. (2007) treat leptochoerids as a distinct family.^[2]
