Estemmenosuchidae are a family of extinct, large, herbivorous mammal-like reptiles (therapsids) that flourished during the Middle Permian. They are distinguished by horn-like structures, probably for display or agonistic behavior. Apart from the best known genus, Estemmenosuchus, the group is poorly known. So far their fossils are known only from the Perm region of Russia (a region referred to by Russian paleontologists as the Cis-Urals).
