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, and possibly synonymous with Phosphatodraco. The type and only species is T. regalis.
