Beiyanerpeton is an extinct genus of salamandroid amphibians known from the Late Jurassic of western Liaoning Province, China.

[2] Beiyanerpeton is known from the holotype specimen PKUP V0601, an almost complete and articulated skeleton exposed in ventral view.

Several unnumbered specimens, PKUP V0602-0606, are also referred to B. jianpingensis, and consist of articulated cranial and postcranial skeletons.

The generic name is derived from Chinese "Beiyan" meaning northern Yan State, and from Greek herpeton, "creeping animal".

The specific name honors Jianping, a county town which is close to the type locality of Beiyanerpeton.
