Trigodon is an extinct genus of the family Toxodontidae, a large bodied notoungulate which inhabited South America during the Late Miocene to Early Pliocene ( Mayoan to Montehermosan in the SALMA classification), living from 11.61 to 4.0 Ma and existed for approximately 7.61 million years. The type species is T. gaudryi.^[1]

It bore a superficial resemblance to a rhinoceros, in that it had a horn on its forehead.^[2]
