Hippohyus is an extinct genus of pig-like animals that lived during the Pliocene in India.
==Description== Hippohyus had high-crowned molars with wrinkled enamel. The posterior premolars were enlarged and short. The skull was primitive, with a flat forehead, enlarged nasal bones, a relatively central orbital cavity and a rather robust zygomatic arch, with the jugal root originating at the height of the fourth premolar.
