Kariridraco is a genus of tapejarid pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous-aged Romualdo Formation, Brazil.

[1] Local workers in Ceará at some unknown location collected a concretion containing the back of the skull of a pterosaur.

Ultimately, they donated the find to the Museu de Paleontologia Plácido Cidade Nuvens.

[1] The new genus and species Kariridraco dianae was named and described in 2021, by Gabriela M. Cerqueira, Mateus A.C. Santos, Maikon F. Marks, Juliana Manso Sayão and Felipe Lima Pinheiro, based on the holotype MPSC R 1056, a fairly complete skull, including the lower jaws, and the first four neck vertebrae.

[1] Cerqueira et al. performed a phylogenetic analysis and placed Kariridraco in the Thalassodrominae, which, like many recent studies, is recovered as a subfamily of the family Tapejaridae.
