Chiayusuchus is an extinct genus of stomatosuchid crocodylomorph. Fossils have been found from the Xinminbao Group in Gansu, China.^[1] It existed during the Barremian and Aptian stages of the Early Cretaceous. Although it was once considered as member of Stomatosuchidae, it is denied by having different teeth shape.^[2]
