Mnemeiosaurus jubilaei or Deuterosaurus jubilaei is an extinct species of dinocephalian therapsids. It was originally named as representing a distinct genus, Mnemeiosaurus ("remembrance lizard"), by Franz Nopcsa in 1928, which some authors, such as Boonstra and Tchudinov, have agreed with, whereas some authors, such as Efremov and Ivakhnenko, regard it as a species of Deuterosaurus. Two skulls, the holotype PIN 1954/2 and a referred specimen, PIN 2629/1, are known.
