Charitomenosuchus (meaning "graceful crocodile") is an extinct genus of machimosaurid teleosauroid from the Callovian Oxford Clay Formation of England.^[1]

The type species, C. leedsi, was originally named "Steneosaurus" leedsi by Andrews in 1909 on the basis of three specimens.^[2] In her unpublished 2019 thesis, Michela Johnson coined the nomen ex dissertationae Charitomenosuchus for S. leedsi.^[3] The genus name was published in 2020.^[1]
