Megalodon (Japanese: ウェブ魚拓, "web gyotaku") is an on demand web citation service based in Japan. It is owned by Affility.

Megalodon's server can be searched for "web gyotaku" or copies of web pages, by prefixing any URL with "gyo.tc"; the process checks the query against other services as well, including Google's cached pages and Mementos.

On 12 November 2010, Affility revealed that all files copied before the first half of 2007 were lost because of a malfunction in their backup process.

Megalodon does not archive sites which include a "noindex" or "noarchive" tag in the robots.txt file.
