Blomosuchus is an extinct genus of proterosuchid archosauriform from the Early Triassic of Russia. The type species was named in 1992 as Blomia georgii. The name Blomia was preoccupied by a genus of plants in the family Sapindaceae, so the genus was renamed Blomosuchus in 1997. Fossils of Blomosuchus have been found along the Vetluga River along with the related proterosuchid Vonhuenia (both were named in a 1992 study of Triassic fossils from Russia).
