'''''Kogiopsis''''' is a genus of Middle [[Miocene]] [[cetacean]] from the family [[Kogiidae]].<ref>{{cite book |author=R. E. Fordyce & C. de Muizon |year=2001 |chapter=Evolutionary history of the cetaceans: a review |title=Secondary Adaptations of Tetrapods to Life in the Water: Proceedings of the International Meeting, Poitiers, 1996 |pages=169–233 |editor=Jean-Michel Mazin & Vivian de Buffrénil |isbn=978-3-931516-88-8 |publisher=Verlag Dr. Friedrich Pfeil}}</ref> ''Kogiopsis'' had very long teeth, {{convert|3|-|12.7|cm}} long, without root. These teeth are found mostly in Florida and South Carolina. In addition to its teeth, ''Kogiopsis'' is known primarily from [[mandible]]s. The anatomy of the teeth and lower jaws are similar to those of the extinct [[Physeteridae|sperm whale]] genus, ''[[Orycterocetus]]''.
