Eorhincodon is an extinct genus of whale shark from the Late Eocene of what is now the Tarim Basin of Inner Mongolia, China. The species E. casei, from Late Cretaceous Russian marine strata, was transferred to the genus Pseudomegachasma in 2015. With the removal of E. casei, Eorhincodon only contains the type species, E. tianshanensis.
