Xenodens (from Greek and Latin for "strange tooth") is a potentially dubious extinct genus of marine lizard belonging to the mosasaur family. It contains a single species, X. calminechari (From Arabic کالمنشار, meaning "like a saw"), which is known from Late Maastrichtian phosphate deposits in the Ouled Abdoun Basin, Morocco.
