Erythrosuchidae (meaning "red crocodiles" in Greek) are a family of large carnivorous basal archosauriforms that lived from the later Early Triassic (Olenekian) to the early Middle Triassic (Anisian). Reaching lengths of over 4 m (13 ft), they represented among the largest apex predators across Pangaea during their existence.
