Djadochtatherioidea is a group of extinct mammals known from the upper Cretaceous of what is now Central Asia. They were members of an also extinct order called Multituberculata. These were very ecologically diverse; several were jerboa-like hoppers[clarification needed], while others like Mangasbaatar were large sized and fossorial.[clarification needed][1] Unusually for multituberculates, some of this group are represented by very good remains. All upper Cretaceous Mongolian multituberculates are included with one exception, the genus Buginbaatar.

This superfamily is further subdivided into two families and several other genera, as listed in the table. These djadochs are within the suborder of Cimolodonta. Djadochtatherioidea was established by Kielan-Jaworowska and Hurum in 2001 as a replacement for the previously proposed Djadochtatheria (Kielan-Jaworowska & Hurum, 1997).[2]
