Rodolfo Aníbal Coria (born in Neuquén June 1, 1959),[1] is an Argentine paleontologist.

He is best known for having directed the field study and co-naming of Argentinosaurus (possibly the world's largest land animal ever) in 1993, and Giganotosaurus (one of the largest known terrestrial carnivores), in 1995 among other landmark South American dinosaurs, including Mapusaurus, Aucasaurus, and Quilmesaurus.

He was a leading researcher at the Bernardino Rivadavia Natural Sciences Museum, in Buenos Aires, director of the Museo Carmen Funes in Plaza Huincul (Neuquén Province), from its opening in 1984 until 2007, when he joined the National Research Council of Argentina.
