Saurodektes is an extinct genus of owenettid procolophonoid known from the earliest Early Triassic deposits of Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. The genus was named by Sean P. Modesto, Ross J. Damiani, Johann Neveling, and Adam M. Yates in 2003, containing a single species, S. rogersorum. However, this species was based on a specimen nearly identical to "Owenetta" kitchingorum, named the year prior. As such, later researchers synonymized the two species, with S. kitchingorum having priority as the older name.
