Penghusuchus is an extinct genus of tomistomine crocodylian. It is known from a skeleton found in Upper Miocene rocks of Penghu Island, off Taiwan. It appears to be related to two other fossil Asian tomistomines: Tomistoma petrolica of southeastern China and Toyotamaphimeia machikanensis of Japan. The taxon was described in 2009 by Shan and colleagues; the type species is P. pani.
