Deltasaurus is an extinct genus of Carnian temnospondyl amphibian of the family Rhytidosteidae.
== Taxonomy == The genus was erected in 1965 by John W. Cosgriff, when describing two new species discovered northwest Australia. The author recognised an affinity with other genera allied to the family Rhytidosteidae that had been uncovered in Africa, and proposed their arrangement to a new superfamily Rhytidosteoidea. thumb|D. kimberleyensis fossil
