Eotitanops ('dawn titan-face') is an extinct genus of mammal.
Eotitanops was the earliest known genus of brontothere. While brontotheres generally known as very large animals, Eotitanops was only 45 cm (1 ft 6 in) tall at the shoulder. It probably resembled a larger, bulkier version of its contemporary, the early horse Hyracotherium. Like this creature, it ate leaves and had four-toed front legs and three-toed hind legs.
