Gilmoreosaurus is the name given to a genus of dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous. Gilmoreosaurus kysylumensis is considered a nomen dubium because it is described from teeth only, though other species preserve more material. It is believed, however, to be a hadrosaur or iguanodont. It lived in Asia, and one specimen was described formally as Gilmoreosaurus atavus by Nessov in 1995.
