'''''Eoscopus''''' is an extinct genus of dissorophoidean euskelian temnospondyl in the family Micropholidae. It is known from Hamilton Quarry, a Late Carboniferous lagerstätte near Hamilton, Kansas.<ref name=fossilworks/>

Members of Micropholidae were historically included in Amphibamidae, but Schoch (2019) recovered Amphibamidae as paraphyletic, necessitating resurrection of Micropholidae for ''Micropholis'' and closely related taxa.<ref>{{Cite journal|author=Rainer R.
