Terminonaris es un género extinto de reptiles crocodilomorfos (más específicamente un mesoeucrocodilio de la familia de los folidosáuridos) que vivó en el Cretácico Superior (Cenomaniense a Turoniense[1][2]​). Sus restos se han hallado en Norteamérica. Originalmente conocido bajo el nombre genérico Teleorhinus, se creía que era un teleosáurido (perteneciente a una familia de talatosuquios marinos similares a los actuales gaviales).

Terminonaris era un enorme depredador, alcanzando una longitud de cerca de 7.6 metros.[3]
