Paludidraco is a nothosaur belonging to the Simosauridae from the Late Triassic of Spain. It includes one species, Paludidraco multidentatus. Paludidraco is thought to possibly have been a filter-feeding marine reptile, and was about 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) long. The holotype, MUPA-ATZ0101, consists of one relatively complete skull and partial postcranial skeleton and one partial skull and mandibles, were found in the El Atance site in Guadalajara, Central Spain at the Keuper Facies horizon, the border of the Carnian and Norian periods of the Triassic.
