Fukuisaurus ("Fukui lizard") was a dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous. It was an Ornithopod which lived in what is now Japan. Remains of Fukuisaurus (フクイサウルス) were discovered in 1990, in Katsuyama, Fukui Prefecture. The type specimen, Fukuisaurus tetoriensis, was not described until 2003 by Kobayashi and Azuma.
