Zulmasuchus (meaning "Zulma Gasparini's crocodile") is an extinct genus of sebecid sebecosuchian mesoeucrocodylian. Its fossils have been found in Early Paleocene-age rocks (Danian stage) of the Santa Lucía Formation in Bolivia.{{cite book |last=Buffetaut |first=E. |author2=Marshall, L.G. |year=1991 |chapter=A new crocodilian, Sebecus querejazus, nov. sp.

Thus, the type species is Sebecus querezajus and the combinatio nova is Zulmasuchus querejazus.{{cite journal|last=Paolillo|first=Alfredo|author2=Linares, Omar J. |year=2007|title=Nuevos cocodrilos Sebecosuchia del Cenozoico Suramericano (Mesosuchia: Crocodylia) |journal=Paleobiologia Neotropical |volume=3 |pages=1–25 |url=http://www.paleobio.labb.usb.ve/Paleobio03.pdf|access-date=2009-02-15 |format=PDF |language=es}}
