Die Krustenechsen (Heloderma) sind eine Gattung in der Ordnung der Schuppenkriechtiere (Squamata). Diese in Wüstengebieten Nord- und Mittelamerikas heimischen Tiere galten mit ihren Vertretern lange als die einzigen giftigen Echsen; inzwischen wurde giftproduzierendes Gewebe jedoch auch bei weiteren Echsen der Toxicofera nachgewiesen.
