Deltapodus is an ichnogenus of stegosaurian dinosaur footprint. Three ichnospecies have been described in the genus: Deltapodus brodricki from England and the United States, Deltapodus ibericus from Spain and Portugal, and Deltapodus curriei from China. Other tracks referable to the genus but not assignable to a species are also known.
The type species, D. brodricki, is known from the Saltwick Formation of England and the Morrison Formation of the United States.[2][3] D. curriei is known from the Tugulu Group of China, and may represent the tracks of the stegosaur genus Wuerhosaurus.[4] D. ibericus is known from the Lourinhã Formation of Portugal and the Villar del Arzobispo Formation of Spain.[5][6] Tracks of indeterminate Deltapodus species are known from the Lameta Formation of India and the Iouaridène Formation of Morocco.[7][8]
