包鲁鳄属（学名：Baurusuchus）是种已灭绝中真鳄类，属于包鲁鳄科，生存于白垩纪晚期的南美洲。包鲁鳄是种陆栖掠食动物、或是腐食动物，身长约3.5到4公尺。

化石发现于巴西的阿达曼蒂纳组（Adamantina Formation）地层，地质年代约9000万到8350万年前，相当于白垩纪晚期的土仑阶到桑托阶^[1]。属名意为“包鲁鳄鱼”，以化石发现处的包鲁群（Bauru Group）为名。包鲁鳄与较早命名的犬齿鳄是近亲，但包鲁鳄的体型较小、齿列较虚弱。目前已有三个种︰B. pachechoi、B. salgadoensis、以及B. albertoi^[1]。

波罗龙鳄的近亲有Stratiotosuchus，发现于同一地层组，体形相似；以及巴基斯坦Pab组的Pabweshi。
