Caodeyao is a genus of therocephalian that lived in what is now China during the late Permian. It was found in the Naobaogou Formation.

The authors found that its closest relative is Purlovia from Russia, forming with it an exclusively Laurasian clade. The holotype and only specimen consisted of a partial skull and a humerus. It was a medium sized animal with a 14 cm long skull. It had a short but high snout, and wide temporal openings.
