"Lanzhousaurus" is the name given to a genus of dinosaur discovered in 2005. "Lanzhousaurus" lived in the Gansu region of what is now China during the Early Cretaceous. A partial skeleton has been recovered. The type species, described by You, Ji, and Li, is "Lanzhousaurus magnidens".

It is perhaps most notable for its "astonishingly huge teeth", among the largest for any herbivorous creature ever, which indicate it is an iguanodont. The mandible, longer than one meter, suggests very large size for the animal.
