Smilodon (del griego antiguo smilē, «escalpelo» o cuchillo de doble hoja; y odoús, «diente») es un género extinto de félidos de dientes de sable de la subfamilia de los macairodontinos. Apareció en América del Norte a finales del Plioceno y se expandió a América del Sur durante el Gran intercambio americano.[1]​ Se reconocen tres especies de este género: Smilodon gracilis, Smilodon fatalis y Smilodon populator. Se estima que los mayores ejemplares de la especie Smilodon populator podrían haber excedido los 400 kg, superando de este modo al tigre siberiano moderno por el título del mayor félido de todos los tiempos (Más de 300 kg para los ejemplares más grandes reportados). Pero en comparación con la mayor parte de félidos la característica más distintiva del género son sus enormes caninos, que lo convirtieron desde su descubrimiento en uno de los mamíferos prehistóricos más populares.

Smilodon (from ancient Greek smilē, "scalpel" or double-edged knife; and odoús, "tooth") is an extinct genus of saber-toothed felids from the subfamily Machairodontinae. It appeared in North America at the end of the Pliocene and spread to South America during the Great American Interchange. Three species of this genus are recognized: Smilodon gracilis, Smilodon fatalis, and Smilodon populator. It is estimated that the largest specimens of the species Smilodon populator could have exceeded 400 kg, thus surpassing the modern Siberian tiger for the title of the largest felid of all time (over 300 kg for the largest reported specimens). But compared to most felids, the most distinctive feature of the genus is its enormous canines, which have made it one of the most popular prehistoric mammals since its discovery.
