Albadris (lit. 'Scotland thorn') is an extinct genus in the amphibious tetrapod order Nectridea, known from the late Carboniferous (early Pennsylvanian, ~319 to 318 Ma) coal measures of Scotland. The genus contains a single species, Albadris smithsoni, known from an isolated lower jaw. This is the first nectridean fossil identified from Scotland. Albadris is also one of the oldest occurrences of the Nectridea, with fossils of this clade known from similar-aged rocks in Ireland and England, but none known from older localities.
