"Likhoelesaurus" (meaning "Li Khole lizard") is the name given to an as yet undescribed genus of dinosaur (or rauisuchian [1]) from the Late Triassic of what is now South Africa.

The name was coined by Ellenberger in 1972 (or 1970 [2]), and the "type species" is "Likhoelesaurus ingens". It is named after the town where the fossils were found. The only fossils recovered have been teeth, from the late Carnian-early Norian-age Lower Elliot Formation.[3] If it were a dinosaur, it would have been a theropod.
