Dalianraptor (meaning "Dalian thief") is a dubious, possibly chimeric, genus of theropod dinosaurs from the Jiufotang Formation of China, dating to the Early Cretaceous.

[2] The type, and only known species, D. cuhe, was named and described by Gao & Liu in 2005.

[1] More recently, it is being suspected that the specimen is a chimera forged for the fossil trade,[3] namely a Jeholornis with the arms exchanged by those of an unnamed flightless theropod.

[4][2] If the holotype is not a chimera, then the phylogenetic placement of Dalianraptor is still uncertain.

[4] Dalianraptor is very similar to the contemporary avialian Jeholornis, though it has a longer digit I (thumb-equivalent) and shorter forelimbs,[5] which suggests it may have been flightless.
