The Diictodontia were a group of herbivorous Dicynodonts from the Permian of South Africa. This infraorder comprised three different families; Diictodontidae (the type family), Emydopidae, and Robertiidae.[1]

The clade was named a sub group of the group Dicynodontia by Robert L. Carroll in 1988.[1]
