Souvrství Kaiparowits je významnou a paleontologicky bohatou geologickou formací na území jižního Utahu v USA.[1] Stáří sedimentů činí 76,6 až 74,5 milionu let (podle jiné studie 76,0 až 74,0 m. l.)[2], jedná se tedy o usazeniny z pozdní křídy (geologický stupeň kampán).[3] Výchozy souvrství se nacházejí na plošině Kaiparowits na území přírodní rezervace Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Souvrství bylo formálně definováno roku 1931, většina paleontologického výzkumu však v něm probíhá až od roku 1982.[4]
