Siamraptor is an extinct genus of carcharodontosaurian dinosaur, containing the single species S. suwati, known from the Khok Kruat Formation of Thailand. It is possibly the first definitive named carcharodontosaurian species known from Southeast Asia.[1][2] However a later 2024 study found it to be an early tetanuran outside of the group Orionides,[3] although the describers of Alpkarakush still found it within the Carcharodontosauria the same year.[4]
