''Pontosaurus'' is a now extinct genus of pythonomorph from the Late Cretaceous period. It was originally named ''Hydrosaurus'', but that name was preoccupied by an agamid lizard, so it was renamed. It is known from two species, both Cenomanian in age, the type ''P. lesinensis'' which is known from Hvar in Croatia, the other ''P. kornhuberi'' is known from the Sannine Formation in Lebanon. Both species were relatively small. ''P. krohuberi'' reached in length and in body mass, while ''P. lesinensis'' reached in length and in body mass.
