Platyrhinops is an extinct genus amphibamid temnospondyl from the Late Carboniferous (late Westphalian stage) of Ohio and the Czech Republic. It is known from many partial skeletons from the Linton site in Saline Township, Ohio{{cite journal |title=An Overview of the Upper Carboniferous Fossil Deposit at Linton, Ohio |url=https://kb.osu.edu/dspace/handle/1811/23240 |date=March 1988 |journal=The Ohio Journal of Science |volume=88 |pages=55–60 |issue=1 |author=Robert W.
