Callibrachion is an extinct genus of caseasaur. It was at least 1.5 metres (5 ft) in length. It lived during the Early Permian.

It was originally described in 1893 on a basis of a specimen Early Permian deposits in northeastern France. It was later considered a synonym of Haptodus by several authors, but subsequent examination has found it be a caseid rather a sphenacodont. This was confirmed by cladistic analysis, which recovered Callibrachion as a basal caseid
