Sphenofontis is an extinct genus of sphenodontian reptile known from the Late Jurassic of Germany, with a single known species, S. velserae. It is known from a single nearly complete and articulated sub-adult specimen (SNSB-BSPG 1993 XVIII 4), found in the late Kimmeridgian aged Torleite Formation in Brunn quarry in Bavaria, Southern Germany. It is thought to be a close relative of the living tuatara (Sphenodon puncatus), tentatively referred to Sphenodontinae.
