Magnipterygius is an extinct genus of primitive ichthyosaur found in the Early Jurassic (Lower Toarcian) Posidonia Shale of Dotternhausen, Germany. The holotype specimen is SMNS96922, a nearly complete articulated skeleton. This genus is well known as a small-sized Ichthyosaur, of around 120 cm length, making it the second genus of that size after the Triassic. Due to the similarities with the genus Stenopterygius it has been classified as a member of the family Stenopterygiidae.
