Crusafontia is an extinct genus of Mesozoic mammal.
Crusafontia was a 10 cm (4 in) long creature that may have looked and lived like a squirrel, but this is uncertain, as only a few teeth have ever been found.
The name of the animal has been given in honour of the Spanish paleontologist Miquel Crusafont Pairó.
