Ogresuchus is an extinct crocodylomorph known from the Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian stage) Tremp Formation in Spain. The type species, O. furatus, was named in 2020. It was a small crocodylomorph, measuring 1.09 m (3.6 ft) long and weighing about 9 kg (20 lb). Initially classified as a sebecid, a 2026 study suggested that it was a neosuchian, possibly an atoposaurid.
