Boreopelta is an extinct genus of rhytidosteid temnospondyl from the early Triassic period (Olenekian stage) of Yakutsk Region, central Siberia, Russia. It is known from the holotype PIN 4115/1, a skull fragment and from the referred specimen PIN 4113/5, a partial lower jaw, recovered from the Teryutekhskaya Formation near the Karya-khos-Teryutekh River. This genus was named by M. A. Shishkin and M. N. Vavilov in 1985, and the type species is Boreopelta vavilovi.
