Trochosaurus (from , 'badger' and , 'lizard') is an extinct genus of South African therocephalians. In 1915 and later, some of its member species were first described by Robert Broom as Trochosuchus spp. (e.g., Trochosuchus major) and later reassigned to the new genus. The genus includes some of the most primitive known Therocephalia.
