Obergfellia is an extinct genus of stem perissodactyl from the middle Eocene, discovered in 1980. Its known range includes northern India and Pakistan.^[1]

Cooper et al. (2014) erected the genus using specimens formerly assigned to Anthracobune and Pilgrimella. It is named in honor of the late married vertebrate paleontologists and .^[1]

The suite of features that distinguish it from other anthracobunids are broad lower molars, short lower m3, and a fairly long angular process of the mandible, but not as long as in Anthracobune.^[1]
