Didolodus is an extinct genus of mammal.

The 60 cm (2 ft) long creature, currently classified as a condylarth, has been previously associated with arctocyonians and litopterns. Didolodus was a quick-footed creature which probably lived like early ungulates such as Propalaeotherium, based on its highly similar teeth.
