Hainina is an extinct mammal genus from the Upper Cretaceous to the Paleocene of Europe. Though small, it outsurvived the final dinosaurs.
The genus Hainina ("from Hainin") was named by Vianey-Liaud M. in 1979. This genus was originally referred to as Cimolomyidae. "We assign Hainina to the Kogaionidae (superfamily incertae sedis); it differs from Kogaionon in having ornamented enamel, while the enamel is smooth in Kogaionon," (Kielan-Jaworowska & Hurum, 2001, p. 409). Material has also been reported from the Upper Cretaceous of Romania.
