Malawisuchus (meaning "Malawi crocodile") is an extinct genus of notosuchian mesoeucrocodylian from the Early Cretaceous Dinosaur Beds of Malawi.
The type species is M. mwakasyungutiensis, referring to Mwakasyunguti, the area of northern Malawi where it was found.
[1] It was classified as a member of the family Itasuchidae by Carvalho and colleagues in 2004.
Its jaw joint suggests it processed food with a forward motion.
The neck was strong, and the articulations of the hind leg suggest an upright posture and an ability to run, while the muscle attachments on the upper arm suggest digging; additionally, the taphonomy of articulated specimens suggests that they had been preserved in burrows.
