Bienotherium is an extinct genus of cynodonts from the Early Jurassic of China discovered by Bian Meinian (Mei Nien Bien).^[2] Despite its size, it is closely related to Lufengia, and is the largest tritylodont from the Lufeng Formation in China.^[3]

Bienotherium had four incisors, no canines, and back molar-like teeth, which it used to chew tough plant material.^[4]
