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 as Euskelesaurus brownii based on holotype BMNH R1625, limb and spinal bones found by Alfred Brown in 1863. The name was in 1902 emended by Friedrich von Huene into Euskelosaurus. It may actually be the same animal as Plateosauravus also found in southern Africa.
