Con il termine Tecodonti (Thecodontia, "denti infissi negli alveoli"), ora considerato obsoleto, si usava indicare tutta una serie di arcosauri primitivi che apparvero nel Permiano superiore e si diffusero nel corso del Triassico. Il gruppo include gli antenati dei dinosauri (compresi gli uccelli), dei coccodrilli e degli pterosauri, oltre a una quantità di specie (ad esempio Euparkeria) che si sono estinte senza lasciare discendenti.
