Hyainailouros is an extinct genus of hyaenodont mammal of the family Hyainailouridae^[1] that lived during the Miocene, of which there were at least three species spread across Europe, Africa, and Asia.^[2] Closely related to other large African creodonts such as Simbakubwa and Megistotherium, Hyainailouros walked with a semi-digitigrade stance and was probably capable of large, leaping bounds.^[3]

Restoration of H. sulzeri (far left), , and H. napakensis (far right)

Alongside its African relatives and the last members of the genus Hyaenodon from Asia, Hyainailouros was among the largest creodonts that existed.^{[citation needed]}
