Trimucrodon (meaning "three-grooved tooth") was a genus of herbivorous dinosaur from Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian stage) Portugal. It is classified as a basal ornithischian, but is a nomen dubium: it is only known from its teeth.

The type species, Trimucrodon cuneatus, was described by Richard A. Thulborn in 1973.
