Asiavorator is an extinct genus of carnivorous, cat-like civet endemic to Asia in the Oligocene.
The teeth of Asiavorator suggest that the beasts were omnivorous or more precisely, ranged from hypercarnivorous to mesocarnivorous.
Asiavorator was named by Spassov and Lange-Badré (1995). It was assigned to Aeluroidea by Hunt (1998).
