Anthracobune ("coal mound") is an extinct genus of stem perissodactyl from the middle Eocene of the Upper Kuldana Formation of Kohat, Punjab, Pakistan.^[2]

The size of a small tapir, it lived in a marshy environment and fed on soft aquatic plants. It is the largest-known anthracobunid. This group was formerly classified with proboscideans.
