Teleocrater is a genus of avemetatarsalian belonging to the basal clade Aphanosauria from the Middle Triassic Manda Formation of Tanzania. The name Teleocrater was coined by English paleontologist Alan Charig in his 1956 doctoral dissertation, but has never been formally published.

| Position of "Teleocrater" relative to other Archosauromorphs, based on Ricqles et al. (2008). |
A 2008 bone histology study of early archosauriforms tentatively identified "Teleocrater" as an archosauriform closely related to Eucrocopoda.[1]
Teleocrater is apparently conspecific with an unnamed avemetatarsalian closely related to the problematic archosauriforms Dongusuchus and Yarasuchus.[2]
