Leidyosuchus (meaning "Leidy's crocodile") is an extinct genus of alligatoroid from the Late Cretaceous of Alberta. It was named in 1907 by Lawrence Lambe, and the type species is L. canadensis. It is known from a number of specimens from the middle Campanian age Dinosaur Park Formation. It was a medium sized alligatoroid, with a maximum skull length greater than 40 centimeters (16 in). It was also a close relative of the much larger Deinosuchus.
