Myobradypterygius is an extinct genus of ophthalmosaurid ichthyosaur from the Early Cretaceous (Barremian-Hauterivian) of Argentina and possibly also Chile. One species is known, M. hauthali, which was once believed to have been a species of Platypterygius. Myobradypterygius is thought to have been a small ichthyosaur, with an estimated total body length of 3.5 metres (11 ft).
