Crusafontia is an extinct genus of mammal from the Cretaceous Camarillas, El Castellar and La Huérguina Formations of Spain. The name of the animal was given in honour of the Spanish paleontologist Miquel Crusafont Pairó.
Crusafontia is estimated to have been around long, though only two teeth (an upper molar right P5) and a mandible have ever been found. In one study on Mesozoic mammal mandibles, it plots with carnivorous rather than insectivorous or herbivorous species.
