Tertremoides is an extinct genus of trematosaurian temnospondyl within the family Trematosauridae from Madagascar.{{Cite journal |author=Lehman, J-P. |author-link=Jean-Pierre Lehman |year=1979 |title=Nouveaux Trematosaures de madagascar, les Stegocephales Malgaches et leur Paleoecologie |journal=Annales de Paléontologie (Vertébrés)|volume=65 |issue=1 |pages=35–53 }} It was first named by Lehman, J-P. in 1966 as Trematosaurus madagascariensis but renamed to Tertremoides ambilobensis by Lehman in 1979. Its closest relative was Trematolestes.{{Cite journal |author=Rainer R.
