- Panphagia, from Classic Greek pan, "all", and phagein, "to eat", in reference to its omnivorous diet, is a genus of sauropodomorph dinosaur. Fossils were found in late 2006 in rocks of the Ischigualasto Formation of Valle Pintado, Ischigualasto Provincial Park, San Juan Province, Argentina. The bones were found at approximately the same level as a 228.3 million year old ash layer, indicating it lived during the early Carnian of the Late Triassic. It is currently known from holotype PVSJ 874, the disarticulated remains of one partially-grown individual of about 1.30 metres (4.3 ft) long. Portions of the skull, vertebrae, pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle, and hindlimb bones have been recovered of this individual. Panphagia was described in 2009 by Ricardo N. Martínez and Oscar A. Alcober. They performed a phylogenetic analysis and found it to be the most basal known sauropodomorph dinosaur. The type species is P. protos; the specific name, meaning "the first" in Greek, is a reference to its basal position.
