The closest relative to the Tasmanian devil is the quoll, another native Australian carnivorous marsupial, or dasyurid.
As dasyurids, Tasmanian devils are related to other small dasyurids such as kowaris, antechinus, phascogales, planigales. They are only distantly related to the now extinct Tasmanian tigers, or Thylacines.
