Lende is an extinct genus of a burnetiamorph biarmosuchians from Malawi. It contains one species, L. chiweta, first reported by Jacobs and colleagues in 2005. The type specimen discovered in the early 90s in the Permian Lower Bone Bed (B1) of the Chiweta Beds of Malawi, which are believed to correlate with the Cistecephalus Assemblage Zone of the South African Karoo Supergroup, the Usili Formation of Tanzania, and the Upper Madumabisa Mudstone Formation of Zambia. The holotype of the genus Lende is MAL 290, which comprises an almost complete skull and lower jaw.
