Kwatisuchus (from the Tupi kwa 'tim for 'pointy nose' and the Greek suchus for crocodile) is a genus of benthosuchid temnospondyl amphibian from Early Triassic deposits of Brazil. It is represented by the type species, Kwatisuchus rosai, which was named for one specimen collected from the Granja Palmeiras site in Rosário do Sul, Brazil. This is the only definitive occurrence of benthosuchids in Gondwana; other benthosuchids such as Benthosuchus are known mainly from Russia.
