This is a list of Antillian and Bermudan animals extinct in the Holocene that covers extinctions from the Holocene epoch, a geologic epoch that began about 11,650 years before present (about 9700 BCE) [a] and continues to the present day. [1] This list includes the Antilles archipelago and the Bermuda Islands, collectively known as the West Indies.

The extinction's extreme bias towards larger animals further supports a relationship with human activity rather than climate change. [150] There is evidence that the average size of mammalian fauna declined over the course of the Quaternary, [151] a phenomenon that was likely linked to disproportionate hunting of large animals by humans.
