Arsinoitheriidae is a family of mammals belonging to the extinct order Embrithopoda. Remains have been found in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Romania. Arsinotheriids were closely related to hyraxes, elephants, sirenians, and possibly desmostylians (as part of the superorder Afrotheria). The name of the clade honors the wife of Ptolemy II, Queen Arsinoe II of Egypt, as the first fossils of Arsinoitherium were found near the ruins of her palace.

Los arsinoitéridos (Arsinoitheriidae) son una familia de mamíferos placentarios del extinto orden Embrithopoda. Se han encontrado restos en la zona de Oriente Medio, África, Asia y Europa. Tenían una apariencia similar a la de los modernos rinocerontes, con los que no están emparentados. Vivieron del Eoceno al Oligoceno. El nombre deriva de la antigua reina de Arsínoe II, donde se encontraron fósiles siguiendo pistas del Arsinoitherium cerca de su palacio.
