Coelodonta tologoijensis is an extinct rhinoceros that lived in Asia during the Early to Middle Pleistocene. Fossils have been found in Siberia and Mongolia. It was related to the woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis). The species was named in 1966 by Beliajeva. A skull found in the Kyffhäuser hills near the town of Bad Frankenhausen, Germany, about 450,000 years old, was once thought to belong to this species and would have made it Europe’s earliest Coelodonta. However, a 2022 study showed that skull is actually from the woolly rhinoceros, not C. tologoijensis, so the species is currently known only from Asia.
