"Fulengia" is the name given to a genus of dinosaur from the Early Jurassic. It was a prosauropod or other basal sauropodomorph. Its fossils were found in China.

The type species, "Fulengia youngi", was described by Carroll and Galton in 1977. It is a nomen dubium, and may be the same animal as "Lufengosaurus" (from which it is anagramized). It was originally thought to be a lizard.
