Itasuchus is an extinct genus of crocodylomorph from the Late Cretaceous of Brazil.[1] Fossils of the type species I. jesuinoi, first described in 1955 by Llewellyn Ivor Price, have been found from the Marília Formation (Maastrichtian age) in Uberaba, Brazil.[1]

It is known from a 370 mm skull, suggesting a total length of about 3 m (10 ft).[2]
