'''''Hypercoryphodon''''' is an extinct genus of [[pantodont]] native to Early [[Eocene]] [[China]] and [[Japan]], and was very similar to its relative, ''[[Coryphodon]]''. Described from a upper jaw, ''Asiocoryphodon'' is a quadrupedal hippopotamus-like herbivore that may have been able to adapt its feeding to suit different situations. It is thought to have possibly lived in wetland to forest ecosystems that it might have shared with other herbivores such as dinoceratans like ''Gobiatherium''. It had a body mass of 426 kg.
