Morganucodon ("Gigi Glamorgan") adalah sebuah genus mammaliaformes awal yang hidup dari periode Trias Akhir sampai Jura Tengah. Hewan ini pertamakali muncul sekitar 205 juta tahun lalu. Tidak seperti mammaliaformes awal lainnya, Morganucodont lazim ditemukan dan biasanya dalam keadaan pengawetan yang baik (meski kebanyakan sisa-sisanya terdisartikulasi), sehingga terwakili dengan baik. Kebanyakan dari sisa-sisanya berasla dari Glamorgan, Wales (M. watsoni), namun fosil-fosil lainnya dari genus ini juga ditemukan di Provinsi Yunnan, Tiongkok (M. oehleri) dan berbagai bagian di Eropa dan Amerika Utara, Bererapa hewan yang berkerabat dekat (Megazostrodon) diketahui dari fosil-fosil yang baik dari Afrika Selatan.[1]

Namanya berasal dari latinisasi Morganuc, nama untuk Glamorgan Selatan di Buku Domesday. Fosilnya pertamakali ditemukan oleh Walter Georg Kühne,[2] yang memberinya nama tersebut.
