thumb|300x300px|Teeth of Acynodon sp. from the Campanian of Villeveyrac, Hérault, France. Max Rouger Collection. Acynodon is an extinct genus of eusuchian crocodylomorph from the Late Cretaceous, with fossils found throughout Southern Europe.
==Classification== The genus Acynodon contains three species: A. iberoccitanus, A. adriaticus, and A. lopezi. Fossils have been found in France, Spain, Italy, and Romania, dating back to the Santonian, Campanian and Maastrichtian periods of the Late Cretaceous. Isolated teeth from the paleontological site of Kozina in Slovenia may be referable to A. adriaticus.
