Chilantaisaurus ("Jilantai Salt Lake [zh] lizard"[1]) is a genus of large theropod dinosaur, possibly a neovenatorid or a primitive coelurosaur, from the Late Cretaceous Ulansuhai Formation of China (Turonian age, about 92 million years ago). The type species, C. tashuikouensis, was described by Hu in 1964.
