Pteranodon sternbergi is an extinct species of the pteranodontid pterodactyloid pterosaur genus Pteranodon from the Late Cretaceous geological period of North America. P. sternbergi was among the largest pterosaurs, with a wingspan of up to 6 metres (20 ft) in males. It has been argued that P. sternbergi should be classified in a separate genus, Geosternbergia, but this has not been followed by most other researchers.
