Tethyshadros is a genus of hadrosauroid dinosaur from Italy. Its name references the Tethys Sea, a prehistoric ocean during much of the Mesozoic Era of which the Mediterranean Sea is a remnant. Tethyshadros was relatively small for a hadrosaur, at about 4.5 m in length, and weighing around 500 kg. As a hadrosaur, Tethyshadros was a beaked animal with a hand formed into a fleshy pad and three-toed feet. The beak was unique in its snowplow-like shape, which was pointed, and serrated rather than smooth.
