Bubodens magnus is a poorly understood, extinct multituberculate mammal from the Upper Cretaceous of South Dakota. It is known only from a single tooth, and has uncertain placement within the suborder Cimolodonta though has been tentatively argued to belong to Taeniolabidoidea. This species is the only known member of the genus Bubodens, and may have been the largest known mammal of the Cretaceous.
