"Penelopognathus" is a genus of dinosaur which lived during the Early Cretaceous. It was an iguanodont ancestral to hadrosaurids. Fossils have been found in what is now Mongolia. The type species, "Penelopognathus weishampeli", was described by Godefroit, Li, and Shang in 2005, based on fragmentary jaw fossils.
