Africanictis is an extinct genus of carnivorous cat-like mammal belonging to the infraorder Aeluroidea, endemic to Africa for approximately 11.42 million years, from 23.03 to 11.610 Ma, during the Miocene epoch.
Africanictis is thought to have had an omnivorous—or more precisely hypercarnivorous to mesocarnivorous—diet.
