Alcidedorbignya is an extinct pantodont mammal known from the Early Paleocene (Tiupampan SALMA, ) Santa Lucia Formation (, paleocoordinates ) at Tiupampa near Mizque, Cochabamba, Bolivia.

Following a naming convention established by pioneering Argentine palaeontologist Florentino Ameghino (i.e. combining the first name and surname of a prominent scientist), the genus name honours French naturalist Alcide d'Orbigny.
