Megadontosuchus is an extinct monospecific genus of gavialoid crocodylian, traditionally regarded as a member of Tomistominae, from the middle Eocene of Italy. Fossils have been found from in the province of Verona. The genus is currently monotypic, with the type and only species being Megadontosuchus arduini. The species was originally named in 1880, although it was assigned to the genus Crocodilius (now spelled Crocodylus). The genus was first erected by paleontologist in 1955 along with the genus Kentisuchus, which was also first classified as Crocodilius. No holotype for Megadontosuchus was designated in 1880, and a lectotype wasn't proposed until 2007.

  • Megadontosuchus es un género extinto de crocodiliano tomistomino que vivió a mediados del Eoceno en la península itálica. Sus fósiles se han encontrado en el en la provincia de Verona, Italia. El género es monotípico, puesto que solo se ha nombrado a una especie, M. arduini. Esta especie fue nombrada originalmente en 1880, aunque fue asignada al género Crocodilius (más tarde cambiado a Crocodylus). El género fue nombrado inicialmente por el paleontólogo en 1955 junto con el género de tomistomino , el cual también había sido clasiificado como Crocodilius. No se designó un holotipo para Megadontosuchus cuando fue descrito en 1880, y no se designó un lectotipo hasta 2007.​ Megadontosuchus difiere de otros tomistominos por tener un rostrum más robusto, dientes mayores (de donde viene su nombre de género, que significa "cocodrilo de dientes grandes"), y grandes fenestras supratemporales sobre la .​ (es)

No holotype for Megadontosuchus was designated in 1880, and a lectotype wasn't proposed until 2007. Megadontosuchus differs from other traditional "tomistomines" in that it has a more robust rostrum, very large teeth (hence the generic name meaning big-toothed crocodile), and large supratemporal fenestrae on the skull table.
