The Diictodontia were a group of herbivorus Dicynodonts from the Permian of South Africa. This infraorder was composed of 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]
