Hallopodidae is a family of Late Jurassic crocodylomorphs. It was defined by Juan Leardi and colleagues in 2017 as all taxa more closely related to Hallopus victor than to Protosuchus richardsoni or to Dibothrosuchus elaphros. They have been recovered as the closest relatives of the Crocodyliformes.[1]
