Angelarctocyon is an extinct genus of Amphicyonidae (bear dog), which belongs to the order Carnivora.
It was originally interpreted as a miacid and named Miacis australis; however, recent research has suggested it is an early amphicyonid. Analysis of skeletal morphology suggests it is most closely related to another taxon previously attributed to Miacidae, Miacis cognitus, and the well known New World amphicyonid, Daphoenus.
