Mormosaurus ("Mormo's Lizard") is an extinct genus of tapinocephalid dinocephalian therapsid from the Guadalupian epoch of South Africa . It was first named by Watson in 1914, and contains one species, M. seeleyi. Members of Mormosaurus had a long skull. Its taxonomic status is not settled, as some authorities synonymize it with Keratocephalus.
