'''''Angistorhinopsis''''' is an extinct [[genus]] of altirostral (long-snouted) [[Mystriosuchini|mystriosuchin]] [[phytosaur]]. It was named for its supposed resemblance to ''[[Angistorhinus]]'' by [[Friedrich von Huene]] in 1922. [[Fossil]]s have been found in Switzerland and date back to the latest [[Norian]] and [[Rhaetian]] stages of the [[Late Triassic]], making it the youngest known phytosaur to have existed in Europe and, along with ''[[Redondasaurus]]'' from the United States, one of the last surviving members of Phytosauria before the group became extinct during the [[Triassic–Jurassic extinction event]] 199.6 million years ago.
