Injanatherium is an extinct genus of giraffids from the Miocene of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. Species of Injanatherium had at least two pairs of long, wing-like ossicones that emanated laterally above the orbits.
==Species== ===I. hazimi=== I. hazimi is the type species, originally described by Heintz, et al., in 1981, on the basis of a partial skull found in middle Miocene-aged strata of Injana, Iraq, about 140 km north of Baghdad. The ossicones are broad and more massive in comparison to I. arabicum.
