***Galeops*** is an extinct genus of [anomodont](/source/Anomodont) [therapsids](/source/Therapsid) from the Middle-Late [Permian](/source/Permian) of South Africa. It was described by [Robert Broom](/source/Robert_Broom) in 1912.[1] Some cladistic analyses have recovered it as closely related to [dicynodonts](/source/Dicynodonts).[2]
