Dolichosuchus (meaning "long crocodile") is the name given to a genus of dinosaur from the Triassic. It was described as a coelurosaur, but has been reclassified as a coelophysoid. Its fossil (there was only one, a leg bone) was found in Germany. Because only one bone was discovered, the genus is considered a nomen dubium.

The type species is D. cristatus, described by von Huene in 1932.
