Template:Ichnobox/short Limnopus is an ichnogenus of ancient tetrapod footprint. Its footprints have been found in Moscovian aged-rocks situated in Alverley, Shropshire, England, Colorado and West Virginia. The Limnopus tracks were probably made by Diadectes.

The Limnopus glenshawensis type specimen was accompanied by tracks of that of the related Ichniotherium. The type specimen of Limnopus and Ichniotherium is currently housed in the Lapworth Museum of Geology in Birmingham, England. A 3D printed model of an Ichnotherium trach can also be seen.

Diadectes was the most likely trackmaker of Limnopus and Ichniotherium
