Genus-level: Species-level: Microgomphodon is an extinct genus of therocephalian therapsid from the Middle Triassic of South Africa and Namibia.

Microgomphodon is a member of the family Bauriidae and a close relative of Bauria, another South African bauriid from the CAZ.

Like other bauriids, it possesses several mammal-like features such as a secondary palate and broad, molar-like postcanine teeth, all of which evolved independently from mammals.

They are positioned closer to the midlines of the upper and lower jaws than are the incisors due to an inward expansion of the maxilla and dentary bones.

[1] Microgomphodon is very similar in appearance to Bauria, but differs in having a small hole called a pineal foramen at the top of the skull behind the eye sockets, a complete postorbital bar enclosing the eye sockets from behind, fewer postcanine teeth, and canines located farther back along the upper jaw.
