大鱷龜屬（Macrochelys）是鱷龜科的一個屬，原產於美國東南部。它本來只有大鱷龜這一個現存種，2014年又分出幾個不同的種。[2]

種

Macrochelys temminckii

該屬現在有兩個種：[3][4]

Macrochelys suwanniensis Thomas et al., 2014
Macrochelys temminckii (Troost, 1835)

該屬的第三個種尚存疑：[5][6][7]

Macrochelys apalachicolae Thomas et al., 2014

此外，該屬還有兩個化石種：

†Macrochelys auffenbergi Dobie, 1968（上新世中期的佛羅里達）
†Macrochelys schmidti（上新世早中期的內布拉斯加）
