Jubbulpuria ("Jubbulpore one") is the name given to a dubious genus of small dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous. It was classified as a coelurosaurid dinosaur similar to but smaller than Coeluroides, but it may have been a ceratosaur. Its fossil specimens, consisting solely of a partial vertebrae, were found in the Lameta Formation of India. It is estimated to have been .5 meters high, 1.2 meters long, and perhaps 15 kilograms.

The type species, Jubbulpuria tenuis, was described by Friedrich von Huene and Matley in 1933.
