Moradisaurus is an extinct genus of largecaptorhinid tetrapods, with a single speciesMoradisaurus grandis,^[1] known from the latePermian (Lopingian) agedMoradi Formation ofNiger.^[2]^[3] It is the largest captorhinid known, estimated to have reached asnout-vent length of over two metres.^[4] Similar to other members ofMoradisaurinae, it possessed multiple tooth rows, which is associated with a high-fiberherbivorous diet.^[5]

The holotype is MNHN MRD1, a skull that was discovered during the late 1960s.^[1]
