''Suchodus'' is an extinct genus of marine crocodyliform from the Middle to Late Jurassic period of England and France. ==Taxonomy and phylogeny== In the 2000s, phylogenetic analysis has shown that ''Suchodus'' is a distinct metriorhynchid genus.〔Young, Mark T., and Marco Brandalise de Andrade, 2009. "What is ''Geosaurus''? Redescription of ''Geosaurus giganteus'' (Thalattosuchia: Metriorhynchidae) from the Upper Jurassic of Bayern, Germany." ''Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society'', 157: 551-585.〕〔Young, Mark T., Brusatte, Stephen L., Ruta, M., Andrade, Marco B. 2009. "The evolution of Metriorhynchoidea (Mesoeucrocodylia, Thalattosuchia): an integrated approach using geometrics morphometrics, analysis of disparity and biomechanics". ''Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society'' 158: 801-859.〕 Valid species are: *''S. brachyrhynchus'': Western Europe (England and France) of the Middle-Late Jurassic (Callovian and Oxfordian); ''Metriorhynchus cultridens'' is a junior synonym. *''S. durobrivensis'': Western Europe (England and France) of the Middle Jurassic (Callovian). Was originally the type species of the genus ''Suchodus'', but it was regarded as a junior synonym of ''Metriorhynchus'' by Andrews, 1913.〔Andrews CW. 1913.
