Deperetellidae is an extinct family of herbivorous odd-toed ungulates containing the genera Bahinolophus, Deperetella, ,^[1] and Teleolophus. Their closest living relatives are tapirs.^[2]

Members of Deperetillidae are medium to large-sized animals distinguished from other tapiroids by their high crowned and very bilophodont molars.^[3]
