磨齒獸科學名Mylodontidae),又稱磨齒懶科,是已滅絕地懶,生存於2,300萬至11,000年前的北美洲南美洲[2]。磨齒獸科與同樣已滅絕的陵角懶科英语Scelidotheriidae,以及現存樹棲性二趾樹懶科為近親,三者均屬於磨齒獸總科。磨齒獸科與陵角懶科之間的親緣關係證據主要是來自種系發生學及形態學分析,甚至有部分較早期的研究會將陵角懶科置於磨齒獸科下[3]。而磨齒獸科與二趾樹懶科之間的親緣關係證據則仰賴粒線體DNA[4][5]膠原蛋白胺基酸序列的分析研究[6]。後者分析顯示二趾樹懶科比起二趾樹懶科,與磨齒獸科的親緣關係更為接近。此外,同樣仍未滅絕的樹懶科(包含已知的4種三趾樹懶)則是屬於親緣關係較遠的大地懶總科[5][6]

由於在洞穴中同時發現人類與地懶的遺骸,包括了數量不少的毛髮、皮膚、糞便等亞化石,科學家最初認為這些早期的人類會建造畜欄來豢養這些地懶[7]。然而,放射性碳定年法分析顯示人類及地懶生存於洞穴的時間並未有重疊[8]。磨齒獸科是目前已知確認具有皮內成骨的地懶,但僅有部分屬具有此特徵,其中就包括了磨齒獸屬英语Mylodon副磨齒獸屬舌懶獸屬英语Glossotherium,其他屬則缺乏[9]
