Rinconsauria is an extinct clade of titanosaurian sauropods known from the late Cretaceous period of Argentina. All members of this clade are fairly small compared to the largest titanosaurs, at less than around 11 metres (36 ft) long. The membership of Rinconsauria is highly unstable; some phylogenetic analyses find the clade to be restricted to the two genera that define the clade, Rinconsaurus and Muyelensaurus, but over twenty other titanosaur genera have been included in the clade by various analyses.
