Oudenodon is an extinct genus of dicynodont. It was common throughout southern Africa during the Late Permian. Several species of Oudenodon are known.[2] Both O. bainii, the type species, and O. grandis are known from South Africa.[3][4] Specimens of O. luangwensis have been found from Zambia.[5] One species, O. sakamenensis, is the only Permian therapsid yet known from Madagascar.[6] It is the type genus of the family Oudenodontidae, which includes members such as Tropidostoma.
