Ziphosuchia is a clade of mesoeucrocodylian crocodyliforms that includes notosuchians and sebecosuchians.
==Systematics== First constructed in 2000, it was considered to include Notosuchus, Libycosuchus, and Sebecosuchia. In a 2004 phylogenetic study, it was defined as the most recent common ancestor of Notosuchus, Libycosuchus, and Baurusuchoidea and all of its descendants.
