锹鳞龙属（属名：Stagonolepis）是种已灭绝主龙类爬行动物，属于坚蜥目，生存于三叠纪晚期的诺利期。锹鳞龙的化石已在苏格兰与波兰发现。

锹鳞龙是种四足、植食性动物，身体覆盖者厚重鳞甲。锹鳞龙行动缓慢，牠们使用厚重骨板来抵抗同时代伪鳄类掠食动物的攻击。锹鳞龙身长3米，头部长达25公分；与身体相比，锹鳞龙的头部非常小头部少于身体长度的10%。牠们的嘴部前段没有牙齿，嘴部后段有适合咀嚼的钉状牙齿，但喙状嘴的前端往上拱起，可让锹鳞龙拔起植物（类似现在的猪），包括木贼、蕨类植物、以及苏铁^[1]。

种

模式种是S. robertsoni，化石发现于苏格兰的洛西茅斯砂岩层；第二个种是S. olenkae，化石发现于波兰，地质年代比模式种还年轻^[2]。

某些古生物学家认为，发现于南美洲的Aetosauroides，是锹鳞龙的次异名。Aetosauroides目前有两个种：A. scagliai、A. subsulcatus。在2002年，史宾赛·卢卡斯（Spencer G. Lucas）将体形较大的种，归类于锹鳞龙的S. robertsoni，较小的种则归类于S. wellesi^[3]。

一些发现于美国的化石，生存同年也是三叠纪晚期，原本是独立属Calyptosuchus，曾被改归类成锹鳞龙的第三个种S. wellesi。大部分研究认为锹鳞龙、Calyptosuchus是两个单系源，是两个有效的独立属^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]。
