Ikechosaurus is an extinct genus of choristoderan which existed in China and Mongolia during the Cretaceous period. It contains the species Ikechosaurus sunailinae and Ikechosaurus gaoi.

Compared to other neochoristoderes, Ikechosaurus has a rather simple dentition, lacking the speciations seen in latter species. It also has parasphenoid palatal teeth, a feature not seen in any other choristodere.
