Nothogomphodon is a genus of therocephalian therapsids. It is classified within the family Bauriidae and placed within its own subfamily, Nothogomphodontinae.
==Description== Nothogomphodon was unusual among therocephalians for its sectorial dentition, a feature it shared with cynodonts and which would have allowed it to shear meat more effectively.
