Tchadanthropus uxoris was the name given to the hominid species discovered by Françoise Coppens, wife of Yves Coppens, in Chad in 1960. She found a part of the skull of a single individual near Koro Toro. The name was given by Yves Coppens, and means "my wife's Tchad man".

Tchadanthropus uxoris is no longer considered to be a separate species. The name is often treated as a synonym of Homo erectus, although the skull that was initially found is often thought to be from a modern human, Homo sapiens sapiens, weathered by the elements to look like an australopithecine skull [1].
