Dandakosaurus (meaning "Dandakaranya lizard") is a genus of extinct averostran theropod dinosaur from the Kota Formation, Andhra Pradesh, India. It lived 183 to 175 million years ago from the latest Pliensbachian to the late Toarcian stages of the Early Jurassic. Little is known about the genus and some paleontologists consider it to be a nomen dubium.
