"Iliosuchus" (meaning "crocodile hipped") was a European dinosaur of the Bathonian (169.2 - 164.4 mya). It was approximately 1.5 m (5 ft) in length.

The only fossil record (BMNH R83) is two ilia from Stonesfield Slate, Oxfordshire, England. These small ilia have a super-acetabular ridge on the surface, similar to tyrannosaurids and "Piatnitzkysaurus". However such an incomplete skeleton is inadequate for accurate classification, but is tentatively considered a tyrannosaurid ancestor. From these samples, von Huene described the only species, "I. incognitus", in 1932. Another species, "I. clevelandi", was named in 1974 but has since been moved to "Stokesosaurus clevelandi".
