Allodesmus kelloggi is an extinct genus of pinniped from the middle to late Miocene of California and Japan that belongs to the extinct pinniped family Desmatophocidae.
Allodesmus had the specific anatomical features found in modern polygynous pinnipeds: strong canines for fights between bulls and teeth with well-defined growth zones, a result from periodic fasting.
