Parahupehsuchus is an extinct genus of hupehsuchian marine reptiles from the Early Triassic of China.

Like other hupehsuchians, it had an elongated torso, a tail nearly as long as the rest of the body, short and paddle-like limbs, extra bones in the fore- and hind limbs, thick ribs and gastralia, neural spines of the vertebrae split into two parts, and bony plates over the neural spines.

The ribs connect with gastralia on the underside of the torso to form a bony "tube" around the body wall.

[1] Parahupehsuchus longus is known from a single type specimen, WGSC 26005, measuring 2 m (6.6 ft) in length.

[2][3] It was found in 2011 from an outcrop of the Early Triassic (Olenekian) Jialingjiang Formation in Yuan'an County, Hubei Province, China.
