Shenzhousaurus (meaning "Shenzhou lizard") is a genus of basal ornithomimosaur from the Lower Cretaceous of China.

[1]The holotype (NGMC 97-4-002, National Geological Museum of China) was collected from near the bottom (fluvial beds) of the Yixian Formation (Aptian) at the Sihetun fossil site, Beipiao, western Liaoning Province.

This specimen consists of a partial skeleton preserved on a sandstone slab in a "death pose," its head above the torso.

Shenzhousaurus was first described by Qiang Ji, Mark Norell, Peter J. Makovicky, Keqin Gao, Shu-An Ji and Chongxi Yuan in 2003 and the type species is Shenzhousaurus orientalis.

It may be distinguished from the latter by its "straight ischial shaft and acuminateposterior end of the ilium" and from all other ornithomimosaurs excepting Harpymimus by the relative length of metacarpal I (only half that of metacarpal II) and in that its reduced dentition is restricted to the symphyseal portion of the dentary.
