Samrukia is a genus of large Cretaceous pterosaurs known only from a single lower jaw discovered in Kazakhstan.

It was described by Darren Naish, Gareth Dyke, Andrea Cau, François Escuillié, and Pascal Godefroit in 2012, and the type species is named Samrukia nessovi.

An initial cladistic analysis by Naish et al. found Samrukia nessovi instead to be a basal member of the bird lineage Ornithuromorpha.

Naish wrote on his Scientific American Web log Tetrapod Zoology: "Working on fragmentary material is dangerous since you can often get things very, very wrong, and I realised within a few days of the paper appearing that Samrukia was no bird.

"[4] A subsequent review by Averianov et al. agreed with the reidentification of the specimen as a pterosaur, and suggested it was an Azhdarchid, possibly a synonym of Aralazhdarcho, which is known from the same formation.
