Indobune is an extinct genus of ungulate endemic to Asia during the Eocene from 55.8—48.6 Ma, living for approximately 7.2 million years.

Taxonomy

Indobune was named by Rose et al. (2006). Its type is Indobune vastanensis. It was assigned to Anthracobunidae by Rose et al. (2006). However, in a 2014 cladistic analysis it was suggested to more likely be a member of Cambaytheriidae.

Fossil distribution

Indobune fossil distribution is restricted to Gujarat state, India (Vastan lignite mine).
