Ptilodontoidea is a group of extinct mammals from the Northern Hemisphere. They were generally small, somewhat rodent-like creatures of the extinct order Multituberculata.

Some of these genera have a great many species, though remains are generally sparse. Ptilodus is among the best known; there is a tendency to depict it as an analog of a squirrel.
