Euskelosaurus ("good leg lizard") was a semi-bipedal dinosaur from the Late Triassic. It was a prosauropod that lived in the Late Triassic Period, in present-day South Africa, Lesotho, and Zimbabwe. It was first described by Thomas Henry Huxley in 1866. It may actually be the same animal as Plateosauravus also found in southern Africa.

It has been estimated to have been about 9 metres in length and to have stood 3 metres high.
