Pedaeosaurus is an extinct genus of therocephalian therapsids. Fossils have been found from the Fremouw Formation in the southern Transantarctic Mountains of Antarctica. Pedaeosaurus has traditionally been classified as a scaloposaurid and more recently as an ericiolacertid closely related to Ericiolacerta (also from the Fremouw Formation).{{cite journal |last=Sidor |first=C.A. |author2=Steyer, J.S. |author3= Damiani, R. |year=2007 |title=Parotosuchus (Temnospondyli: Mastodonsauridae) from the Triassic of Antarctica |journal=Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology |volume=27 |issue=1 |pages=232–235 |doi=10.1671/0272-4634(2007)27[232:PTMFTT]2.0.CO;2}}
