Entelodontidae, kadang-kadang dipanggil Babi Neraka atau Babi Pemusnah^[1] adalah sebuah famili punah artiodactyla mirip babi yang hidup di Belahan Bumi utara (Asia, Eropa dan Amerika Utara) dari kala Eosen akhir^[2] sampai Miosen tengah, sekitar 38 hingga 19 juta tahun lalu. Mereka memiliki kepala besar, moncong rendah, gaya berjalan rendah, dan diet omnivor menginspirasi perbandingan dengan suidae (babi sejati) dan tayassuidae (babi sigung), dan dahulu pernah dianggap berkerabat dekat denagn famili-famili itu hanya bedasarkan wujud morfologisnya.^[3]^[4]^[5] Namun, studi yang menggabungkan data morfologis dan molekuler pada artiodactyla menyarankan bahwa entelodontidae adalah anggota dari cetancodontamorpha, yang membuat mereka berkerabat lebih dekat ke kuda nil dan cetacea melalui kemiripannya dengan Pakicetus daripada babi basal seperti Kubanochoerus dan ungulata lainnya.^[6]^[7]
