Euhelopodidae is a family of sauropod dinosaurs which includes the genus "Euhelopus". The family name was first proposed by American paleontologist Alfred Sherwood Romer in 1956. The four genera "Chiayusaurus" "Omeisaurus" "Tienshanosaurus", and "Euhelopus" were the original proposed euhelopodines (subfamily Euhelopodinae). Other Chinese genera, such as "Mamenchisaurus", used to be placed within this family.
