Altispinax (Meaning "High Spine") was a spinosaurid dinosaur which lived during the early Cretaceous of Europe.

The species type , Altispinax dunkeri (Dames, 1884 and von Huene, 1923), is known only from teeth. Other described species have since been moved to other genera, including Baryonyx. Thus Altispinax is now usually considered nomen dubium.
