Palaeoloxodon falconeri is an extinct species of dwarf elephant that lived during the Middle Pleistocene on the Mediterranean islands of Sicily and Malta. It is amongst the smallest of all dwarf elephants, under 1 m in height as fully grown adults. A member of the genus Palaeoloxodon, it derived from a population of the mainland European straight-tusked elephant, with its small body size a result of insular dwarfism.
