Niuksenitia is an extinct genus of biarmosuchian therapsids from the Late Permian of Russia.[1] It is only known from a partial skull including part of the posterior half of the skull and the palate.[1] Because so little of it is known, it is difficult to determine the closest relatives of this species.[1]
