Tethydraco is a genus of pterodactyloid pterosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period (Maastrichtian stage) of what is now the area of present Morocco, about 66 million years ago. Tethydraco was originally assigned to the family Pteranodontidae, but subsequently described material suggested that it was an azhdarchid. It has been suggested to be synonymous with Phosphatodraco, but this is disputed. The type and only species is T. regalis.
