Sauropia is an extinct genus of procolophonoid sauropsid known from the Middle Triassic Santa Maria Formation of Brazil. The genus contains a single species, Sauropia macrorhinus, known from a very small skull and mandible. It may belong to the family Procolophonidae, but the immature nature of the only known specimen makes this identity uncertain.
