Neuquensuchus (meaning "Neuquén crocodile", referring to the city) is an extinct genus of basal crocodyliform from the Santonian-age Upper Cretaceous Bajo de la Carpa Formation of Neuquén Province, Argentina. The known remains were discovered on the campus of Universidad Nacional del Comahue in the city of Neuquén. Neuquensuchus was named by Lucas E. Fiorelli and Jorge O. Calvo in a publication dated to 2007, but which became available in 2008. The type species is N. universitas, in recognition of its discovery locality. A small, slender animal, it is the first named "protosuchian" from a Gondwanan continent. Unlike the great majority of crocodyliforms, its shin was longer than its thigh, suggesting it had some running ability.
