Caviramus is a genus of "rhamphorhynchoid" pterosaur from the Late Triassic (late Norian-early Rhaetian-age) lower Kossen Formation of the Northern Calcareous Alps of Switzerland.

The genus was in 2006 named by Nadia Frobisch and Jorg Frobisch.

The type species is Caviramus schesaplanensis. The genus name is derived from Latin cavus, "hollow" and ramus, "branch".

The specific name refers to Mount Schesaplana. The genus is based on holotype PIMUZ A/III 1225, three non-contiguous fragments of a ramus (lower jaw) of the mandible with multicuspate teeth.
