Enaliosuchus is a dubious[2] genus of extinct marine crocodyliform within the family Metriorhynchidae that lived during the Valanginian stage of the Early Cretaceous. It is known from fossil remains found in France and Germany and it was first described in 1883.[1]
Only the type species is known, which is E. macrospondylus.[1]
