Microleter is an extinct genus of parareptile which existed in Oklahoma during the upper Permian period. It was first named by paleontologists Linda A. Tsuji, Johannes Muller, and Robert R. Reisz in 2010. The type species is Microleter mckinzieorum. A very well preserved skull and lower jaw is the only known specimen. It was found from the Early Permian fissure-fill deposits near Richards Spur in Comanche County, often referred to as the Fort Sill locality. The Fort Sill locality has yielded many other well preserved tetrapod fossils, including those of other parareptiles such as Bolosaurus, Colobomycter, and Delorhynchus.
