Ligabueino (meaning "Ligabue's little one") was an abelisaur named after an Italian doctor (Giancario Ligabue). This was the smallest of all abelisaurs, and one of the smallest dinosaurs, at only 70 cm (2.3 feet) long. It was a theropod and lived during the Early Cretaceous Period, in what is now Patagonia.

Fragments found were: Femur , ilium , pubis , phalanx and neural arches of cervical, dorsal and caudal vertebrae
