Stenoplesictis is an extinct genus of carnivorous cat-like mammals belonging to the superfamily Aeluroidea, endemic to Europe from the Oligocene 33.9—28.4 Ma, existing for about 5.5 million years.

Stenoplesictis is shown to have an omnivorous diet or more precisely, hypercarnivorous to mesocarnivorous.

Stenoplesictis was named by Filhol (1880). It was assigned to the Aeluroidea by Hunt (1989) and Hunt (1998); to the Viverridae by Flynn (1998); and reassigned to the Stenoplesictinae by Morlo et al. (2007).
