Massopoda je klada sauropodomorfnih dinosaurusa koji su živeli tokom epoha kasnog trijasa do kasne krede. Ime mu je dao paleontolog Adam M. Jejts sa Univerziteta Vitvatersrand 2007. Massopoda je takson zasnovan na filogentskoh osnovi, definisan kao sve životinje koje su bliže srodne Saltasaurus loricatus nego Plateosaurus engelhardti.^[5]

Klasifilacija

Jejts je Massopoda dodelio Plateosauria. U okviru klade, on je dodelio porodice Massospondylidae (koja uključuje relativno dobro poznatog dinosaurusa Massospondylus) i Riojasauridae (koja uključuje Riojasaurus) kao i Sauropoda.^[6]
