List of extinct mammals

:"A large number of prehistoric mammals are extinct, e.g. Megafauna. See List of prehistoric mammals."

This is an incomplete list of historically known extinct mammals, their dates of extinction, and former range. Mammals included are organisms which have been described by science, but which have subsequently become extinct.
