Zatrachys is an extinct genus of large and flat-headed zatracheid temnospondyl from the early Permian of North America.
== History of study == Zatrachys was named by American paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope in 1878 for the type species, Z. serratus, based on a partial skull from the early Permian of Texas. Additional material has been reported from the early Permian of New Mexico and Oklahoma. Urban et al. (2007) reported material attributed to Z. serratus from the late Carboniferous and the early Permian of West Virginia. This is the only record of Zatrachys in the Carboniferous.
