Brachyuranochampsa is an extinct genus of crocodyloid crocodilians.
The only robust occurrence of Brachyuranochampsa is B. eversolei from the middle Eocene of Wyoming.[1] Another species, B. zangerli from the lower Bridger Formation at Grizzly Buttes, has been synonymized with another primitive crocodyloid, "Crocodylus" affinis, also known from the Bridger Formation [2]
