Pseudosuchia ("false crocodiles") is one of two major divisions of archosaurs. It includes living crocodilians.

Pseudosuchia is one of the two "daughter" clades of the Archosauria. It includes a group of superficially crocodile-like prehistoric reptiles from the Triassic period. These are relatives of living crocodiles, but more distant than the archosaurs.
