Amphirhagatherium is an extinct genus of artiodactyl that lived in Northern Europe during the late Eocene to Early Oligocene.
The dentition of Amphirhagatherium suggests that the genus had a mixed diet of leaves and fruits likely eaten at ground level. Caniniform anterior teeth suggest that there may have been a small carnivorous dietary component, or that they were used for intraspecific combat.
