Neptunidraco (meaning "Neptune's dragon") is an extinct genus of metriorhynchid thalattosuchian that lived during the middle Jurassic period (late Bajocian to earliest Bathonian stage) in what is now northeastern Italy. It is currently the oldest known metriorhynchid, an extinct group of fully marine reptiles related to modern crocodylians.
