Malawisaurus (meaning "Malawi lizard") is an extinct genus of titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur.
It is known from the Dinosaur Beds of northern Malawi, which probably date to the Aptian stage of the Early Cretaceous.
Malawisaurus dixeyi was originally described in 1928 by Sidney H. Haughton as a species of Gigantosaurus (an invalid name for the diplodocid currently known as Tornieria).
[4] Relatively small by sauropod standards, Malawisaurus reached lengths of about 15 metres (49 ft), and weighed about 10 tonnes (11 short tons).
[6] Like some other titanosaurs, ossicles have been found which are believed to represent dermal scutes that covered the skin.
