"Eolambia" (named from the Greek "eos/ηως" meaning 'dawn' or 'morning', implying 'early'. The "Lambia" suffix is after Lawrence Lambe, Canadian Palaeontologist, whose name was given to Lambeosaurus. In all, the name means "dawn (or early) lambeosaurine".

It was an iguanodontian dinosaur from the mid-Cretaceous Period. Its fossils have been found in Utah, USA.

The type species, "Eolambia caroljonesa", was described by James Ian Kirkland, in 1998. Partial skeletons have been discovered. Kirkland also named "Eohadrosaurus" but it is now considered to be the same animal.
