Lagosuchus was a small archosaur from the mid-Triassic Period. It is generally regarded to be closely related to dinosaurs, as a member of the Dinosauromorpha. Lagosuchus was a lightly-built archosaur, and is notable for its long slender legs and well-developed feet - features it shares with certain dinosaurs. This was evident that Lagosuchus was an agile predator, meaning it could've used speed to chase its prey. It would also used its speed to escape larger predators.

Lagosuchus is regarded by some to be nomen dubium and L. lilloensis has been referred to Marasuchus by Paul Sereno in 1994.de:Lagosuchus es:Lagosuchus fr:Lagosuchus nl:Lagosuchus
