Kranosaura is an extinct genus of archosauriform reptile from the Late Triassic Upper Maleri Formation of India.

It contains a single species, K. kuttyi.

The genus is based on two domes of 9 centimetres (3.5 in) long, discovered by T. S. Kutty in the 1990s and described in 2021 by Nesbitt et al.[1] It had an unusually domed head reminiscent of the later pachycephalosaurian dinosaurs in an example of convergent evolution, similar to that of Triopticus.

[2] Kranosaura was the sister taxon to Triopticus, with which it forms the clade Protopyknosia.
