Otodus megalodon (whose species name megalodon derives from Greek meaning “big tooth”), commonly known as the megalodon, was an extinct species of giant shark that lived from the Early Miocene to the Early Pliocene, approximately 23–3.6 million years ago (Aquitanian–Zanclean). Its large fossil teeth demonstrate that it had a cosmopolitan worldwide distribution.

In the past, O. megalodon was believed to belong to the family Lamnidae and to be closely related to the great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias. However, later studies reclassified it within the extinct family Otodontidae, which diverged from the great white shark lineage during the Early Cretaceous period.

Estimates of megalodon size vary depending on the reconstruction method used, with maximum total length projections ranging from approximately 14.2 to 20.3 meters.
