Shaanbeikannemeyeria is an extinct genus of dicynodont known from the Early to Middle Triassic of China. It contains a single species, S. xilougoensis, which was described in 1980 by Zheng-Wu Cheng from a skull catalogued as IGCAGS V315. The specimen was lost, and a neotype skull IVPP V 11674 was later designated. A second species, S. buergondia, was named by Jin-Lin Li in 1980 from a partial skeleton, but it has since been regarded as a synonym of S. xilougoensis. In 2026, a paper by Wenwei Guo et al. identified material from Shaanbeikannemeyeria in the Heshanggou Formation, which dates to the earlier Olenekian stage of the Early Triassic.
Paleobiology Shaanbeikannemeyeria hails from the Ermaying Formation, which also yields the genera Fenhosuchus, Eumetabolodon, Halazhaisuchus, Guchengosuchus, Neoprocolophon, Ordosiodon, Wangisuchus and Shansisuchus.
