Lingyuanosaurus is a genus of therizinosaurian theropod from the Early Cretaceous of Liaoning Province, China. The type and only species is L. sihedangensis. It was uncovered within one of the formations that make up the Jehol biota, although the exact geological formation — and therefore also its precise geological age — is unknown.
