Elasmotheriinae is an extinct subfamily of true rhinoceroses (Rhinocerotidae) that roamed across Afro-Eurasia and possibly North America from the Early Miocene (or possibly as early as the Eocene, depending on what taxa are included) to the Late Pleistocene. It is best known from the youngest member of the group, Elasmotherium, one of the largest true rhinoceroses, which survived until at least 39,000 years ago in eastern Europe and Central Asia.
