Sphenodraco (meaning "sphenodontian dragon") is an extinct genus of neosphenodontian reptiles known from the Late Jurassic (Tithonian age) Altmühltal Formation, part of the Solnhofen Archipelago in Germany. The genus contains a single species, Sphenodraco scandentis, known from a nearly complete skeleton preserved on a slab and counterslab. The elongated proportions of its limbs are similar to those of living arboreal lizards. As such, Sphenodraco may be the first known fully tree-dwelling rhynchocephalian.
