Gobiosuchidae is a family of Late Cretaceous crocodyliforms that lived in what is now the Gobi Desert in Mongolia.
The two genera currently classified within Gobiosuchidae are Gobiosuchus and Zaraasuchus.
According to Pol & Norell (2004), gobiosuchids form a clade united by the following synapomorphies:
Parietal without broad occipital portionAbsence of external mandibular fenestraMore than two parallel rows of dorsal osteodermsCranial table as wide as ventral portion of skullPalpebrals sutured to each other and the frontal, excluding it from the orbital marginExternal surface of ascending process of jugal exposed posterolaterallyLongitudinal ridge on lateral surface of jugal below infratemporal fenestraDorsal surface of posterolateral process of squamosal ornamented with three longitudinal ridgesPresence of a sharp ridge along ventral surface of angularSurangular with a longitudinal ridge on its dorsolateral surfaceDorsal surface of osteoderms ornamented with anterolaterally and anteromedially directed ridgesCervical region surrounded by lateral and ventral osteoderms sutured to the dorsal elementsPresence of appendicular osteodermsClosed, or incipiently close, supratemporal fenestra
