Distortodon is an extinct genus of Polyglyphanodontid lizard from the Late Cretaceous of Europe, containing the species D. rhomboideus found in the Csehbánya Formation from the Santonian of Hungary. It is distinguished from other Polyglyphanodontids by having a more distal lingual cusp, creating a distinctive rhomboidal shape in occlusal view.[1]
