Microurania is an extinct genus of therapsid from the Middle Permian. It is known from a single partial skull found in the region of Orenburg, Russia.

Skull

Microurania was small, with a skull of about 5 cm in length. It has a leaf-like postcanine tooth similar to the one on Phthinosuchus. It was probably omnivorous.
