Deltapodus is an ichnogenus of footprints produced by a stegosaurian dinosaur. 3 known ichnospecies are documented, being D. ibericus (known from Villar del Arzobispo Formation of Spain), D. curriei (known from Tugulu Group of China), and D. brodricki (known from Ravenscar Group of United Kingdom and Lourinhã Formation of Portugal).
It is known from the Lourinhã Formation of Portugal, Spain, along with the Tugulu Group in China, Morocco, United Kingdom, Tirgan formation in Iran and the Lameta formation in India.
It has been suggested that Deltapodus curriei footprints might have been from by Wuerhosaurus.
