The Sivalik horse, Equus sivalensis, is an extinct species of large equid native to the northern Indian subcontinent. Its remains date from the beginning of the Pleistocene, about 2.58 million years ago, until around 600,000 years ago in the Middle Pleistocene. It is considered a stenonine horse, which means it is more closely related to zebras and asses than to true horses. Isotopes and tooth shape suggest that it was a grazer. The later species Equus namadicus from the same region has sometimes been suggested to be a synonym because the teeth of the two are so similar.
