Diaceratherium is an extinct genus of rhinocerotid from the Oligocene and Miocene of Eurasia.

Species

Studies in 2019 suggested that seven species are valid:

• Diaceratherium aginense (Répelin, 1917)
• Diaceratherium askazansorense Kordikova, 2001
• Diaceratherium asphaltense (Depéret & Douxami, 1902)
• Diaceratherium aurelianense (Nouel, 1866)
• Diaceratherium lamilloquense Michel, 1987
• Diaceratherium lemanense (Pomel, 1853)
• Diaceratherium tomerdingense Dietrich, 1931, type species

Some sources separate the genus Brachydiceratherium from Diaceratherium, in which case some of the species listed above are placed in Brachydiceratherium.
