Diplocynodontinae is a clade of alligatoroid crocodilians that lived from the Eocene to the Miocene in Europe. It includes 10 species and two genera, Diplocynodon and Baryphracta, although Baryphracta may be a junior synonym of Diplocynodon. The fossil range of the group may extend back into the Paleocene depending on whether remains of an alligatoroid from Berru, France belong to a diplocynodontine.
