Loxodonta cookei is an extinct species of African elephant. The specific epithet is dedicated to H. Basil S. Cooke, a paleontologist who specialized in extinct African mammals. Its fossils have been found in Uganda, Tanzania and South Africa. Most of the fossils found from this species were teeth.
L. cookei exhibits noticeably more hypsodont dentition than earlier elephantids, which likely reflects an increased prevalence of abrasive dust in the environment relative to previous African palaeoenvironments.
