Neosaurus is a little-known pelycosaur of the family Sphenacodontidae. It was related to the well known Dimetrodon, although much smaller (about 1 m in length) and lived during the Early Permian. Its fossils were found in the Jura region of France. A species of the hadrosaur dinosaur Hypsibema, H. missouriensis, is also called Neosaurus, although because the name was already in use, that species was renamed Parrosaurus before being reassigned to Hypsibema.
