Nanictidops is an extinct genus of therocephalian therapsids from the Late Permian of South Africa's Karoo Supergroup, containing the single species Nanictidops kitchingi. Together with the closely related Russian genus Purlovia, it is a member of the family Nanictidopidae, although this is contended.[1]
The holotype and only specimen, RC 49, is part of the Rubidge collection in Graaf-Reinet, where it was originally found.[1]
