Moradisaurus is an extinct genus of large captorhinid tetrapods, with a single species Moradisaurus grandis,[1] known from the late Permian (Lopingian) aged Moradi Formation of Niger.[2][3] It is the largest captorhinid known, estimated to have reached a snout-vent length of over two metres.[4] Similar to other members of Moradisaurinae, it possessed multiple tooth rows, which is associated with a high-fiber herbivorous diet.[5]

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