Proboscidea is a scientific classification that includes all elephants and their extinct relatives, making it one of the major groups of mammals. Today it contains only three living elephant species—the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant, and the Asian elephant—though it once included many other related animals that no longer exist.

Los proboscidios (Proboscidea) son un orden de mamíferos placentarios perteneciente a los Paenungulata que contiene solo una familia viva en la actualidad denominada Elephantidae, la cual está representada por tres especies: el elefante africano de sabana, el elefante africano de bosque y el elefante asiático. Se trata de un escaso legado de un grupo muy diversificado que apareció hace 60 millones de años y entre cuyas familias desaparecidas cabe destacar a los moeritéridos, baritéridos, mamútidos, gonfotéridos, dinotéridos y estegodóntidos (antecesores directos de los elefántidos posteriores). Hace menos de diez mil años, a finales de la última glaciación, aún quedaban dos especies de mastodontes en América y varias más de elefántidos, entre ellos el mamut lanudo (Mammuthus primigenius) de Eurasia y Norteamérica, el mamut colombino (Mammuthus columbi) y unas cuantas especies insulares enanas de los géneros Palaeoloxodon y Stegodon.
