Siamotyrannus isanensis (meaning "Siamese Tyrant") was a carnosaur from the Early Cretaceous. Its fossils, the pelvis and vertebrae were found in Thailand. As evidenced by its name, it was originally thought to be a tyrannosauroid, though it is quite small at 6.5m in length. It has also been suggested that it may allosaurid or sinraptorid.

Described by Buffetaut, Suteethorn and Tong in 1996
