Pseudotrapelus is a genus of agamid lizards native to North Africa and southwest Asia. They are a medium-sized, rock-dwelling species that inhabit arid environments.

== Habitat == They live in arid environments living near rocks making them saxicolous. However they do inhabit a variety of hilly and mountainous regions, including well vegetated [wadi]]s and slopes, barren rocky hillsides, and boulder-strewn plains. They are dinural, with most of their activity occurring during the hottest time of day, making them heliophilous.
