Velocipes (meaning "quick foot") was a possible theropod dinosaur from the Late Triassic. Its fossils were found in Germany. It is not well-known: in fact, the fossils are so poorly preserved that identification remains unclear. The type species, V. guerichi, was first described by von Huene in 1932. A later paper, published in 2000 by Rauhut and Hungerbuhler, classified the animal as an "indeterminate vertebrate".
