近蹄类（学名：Paenungulata），又名准有蹄类或次有蹄类，是一个包含了长鼻目、海牛目、蹄兔目、重脚目及索齿兽目等哺乳动物的动物分类。当中重脚目及索齿兽目经已灭绝，相对与现存的另外三个目有其独特的一面。重脚目是像犀牛的草食性及蹠行的动物，而索齿兽目则像河马，估计是吃陆上植物及像其他大型有蹄类般行走。

乔治·盖洛德·辛普森是利用传统的科学分类来将这类多样的哺乳动物归纳在近蹄类中，但在解决其系谱问题时却就缺乏严谨。他暗示蹄兔目可能与奇蹄目有关。早期的学者基于其齿列认为蹄兔目最接近犀牛，另外一些证据显示蹄兔目有可能是奇蹄目的亲属，而非其他的近蹄类。故此，近蹄类之间有可能并不怎么接近。

Paenungulata is a clade that groups three extant mammal orders: Proboscidea (including elephants), Sirenia (sea cows, including dugongs and manatees), and Hyracoidea (hyraxes). At least two more orders are known only as fossils, namely Embrithopoda and Desmostylia (desmostylians, however, have been placed in Perissodactyla by a 2014 cladistic analysis). Each of these extinct orders was as unique in its members' ways as the surviving orders. Embrithopods were rhinoceros-like herbivorous mammals with plantigrade feet, and desmostylians were hippopotamus-like amphibious animals. Their walking posture and diet have been the subject of speculation, but tooth wear indicates that desmostylians browsed on terrestrial plants and had a posture similar to other large hoofed mammals.
