Procochleosaurus is an extinct genus of cochleosaurid temnospondyl. Known from the Jarrow coal mines of Ireland, this genus is the oldest known member of the family Cochleosauridae. It was quite similar to Cochleosaurus, an early temnospondyl from the Czech Republic.{{Cite journal|last=Sequeira|first=S.E.K.|date=1996|title=A cochleosaurid amphibian from the Upper Carboniferous of Ireland|journal=Special Papers in Palaeontology|volume=52|pages=64–80}}
