Eohupehsuchus is a genus of extinct hupehsuchian diapsids from the Lower Triassic of China. It is known from its holotype WGSC 26003, which was found in the Jialingjiang Formation, which dates to the upper Spathian. The binomial Eohupehsuchus brevicollis was chosen by the describers of the specimen, and it means "short necked dawn Hubei crocodile".[1]
