Oweniasuchus was a genus of goniopholidid mesoeucrocodylian that lived during the Cretaceous. It was first described from a mandible by Richard Owen in 1879. At the time he named it Brachydectes minor, but the genus was already assigned to a Carboniferous amphibian. In 1885, English paleontologist Arthur Smith Woodward renamed it Oweniasuchs.
Since its discovery in England, specimens have also been recovered in Portugal.
