Bulgosuchus^[1] is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibians, known from an incomplete mandible and a femur recovered from the Bulgo Sandstone at Long Reef in Sydney, Australia. The type species is Bulgosuchus gargantua, which was named in 1999.^[2]^[1]

The type specimen is AM F80190, the posterior glenoid section of a left mandibular ramus, and the mandible is estimated to have been at least one metre long.^[1]^[2]^[3]

At the time of discovery, Bulgosuchus was described as the largest known temnospondyl from the Early Triassic.^[4]^[5]
