Vivaxosaurus is a genus of dicynodont from Late Permian (Changhsingian) of Russia.

[1][2] It has been found at Sokolki on the Northern Dvina River near Kotlas in Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia.

It lived during the latest Permian, and was a contemporary of Inostrancevia, Scutosaurus and Dvinia.

Like all members of the genus, this animal was toothless, except for prominent tusks, and probably cropped vegetation with a horny beak, like a tortoise.

In 2012, the species D. trautscholdi was moved to the genus Fortunodon, independently of its synonymization with V. permirus;[4] this makes Fortunodon a subjective junior synonym of Vivaxosaurus trautscholdi.
