Capitosaurus is an extinct genus of temnospondyl from the Late Triassic of Germany. Its skull was 30 cm long, with a total length over 122 cm. It was one of the first temnospondyl genera to have been erected, with the type species, C. arenaceus, originally described by Münster in 1836 based on a partial skull from the earliest Upper Triassic of Bavaria, Germany. Numerous other species were referred to Capitosaurus before the 1920s, but through much of the 20th century most authors considered the original specimen of C. arenaceus to be undiagnostic, effectively invalidating the genus
