Itasuchus is an extinct genus of crocodylomorph from the Late Cretaceous of Brazil. Fossils of the type species I. jesuinoi, first described in 1955 by Llewellyn Ivor Price, have been found from the Marília Formation (Maastrichtian age) in Uberaba, Brazil.

It is known from a 370 mm skull, suggesting a total length of about 3 m (10 ft).
