Capetus is an extinct genus of temnospondyl from the Upper Carboniferous of the Czech Republic. The Nýřany desposits of the Czech Republic are one of the richest Upper Carboniferous fossil sites in the world, yielding at least 700 tetrapod fossils, discovered from the 1870s onwards. Previously, Capetus was regarded by some authors as an edopoid, close either to Edops or to the cochleosaurids, but recent studies have shown that it is not an edopoid, being closer to Balanerpeton.
