Agaresuchus is an extinct genus of allodaposuchid eusuchian crocodylomorph from the Late Cretaceous (Campanian-Maastrichtian) of Spain. It includes two species, the type species A. fontisensis, and A. subjuniperus, which was originally named as a species of the related genus Allodaposuchus. However, it has been proposed that both species may instead belong to the genus Allodaposuchus.
==Discovery and naming== The genus Agaresuchus was named in 2016 upon the discovery of Agaresuchus fontisensis. Allodaposuchus subjuniperus, discovered in 2013 and originally classified as a new and second species of Allodaposuchus, was then reassigned to Agaresuchus. It is based on the holotype skull, specimen MPZ 2012/288.
