Tarascosaurus ("Tarasque lizard") is a genus of abelisaurid theropod dinosaur from Late Cretaceous of France.

The generic name is derived from the Tarasque or Tarasca, a devouring monster from Occitan and Spanish folklore.

The specific name refers to the Salluvii, a Gallic tribe in Antiquity inhabiting the area near Marseilles.

However, in 2003, Ronan Allain and Xabier Pereda-Suberbiola concluded that the type lacked any uniquely abelisaurid traits and that it should be considered a nomen dubium.

[4] In 2014, Tortosa and colleagues considered Tarascosaurus as a distinct abelisaurid from related taxa like Genusaurus and Arcovenator based on its femoral morphologies and its ontogenetic features.
