Sweetognathus is an extinct genus of conodonts in the family Sweetognathidae.

The genus is characterized by pustulose ornamentation on a wide, flat-topped carina. It originated in the earliest Permian as S. expansus from Diplognathodus edentulus.

Sweetognathus forms a species complex.

The genus is named after paleontologist Walter C. Sweet.
