Pontosaurus is a now extinct genus of pythonomorph from the Late Cretaceous period. The type species, P. lesinensis, is from Hvar in Croatia. It was originally named Hydrosaurus lesinensis and placed in the genus Hydrosaurus Wagler, 1830, which is preoccupied by the agamid genus Hydrosaurus Kaup, 1828, and now considered a synonym of Varanus, but later placed in a separate genus Pontosaurus. A second species, P. kornhuberi, is known from the Sannine Formation in Lebanon.
