Hebeiornis was an enantiornithine bird. It is uncertain whether it was ever validly described or is a nomen nudum. If the taxon is valid, Vescornis is a junior synonym.

It lived during the Early Cretaceous about 104 mya[verification needed] and is known from fossils found in the Yixian Formation at Senjitu, People's Republic of China.
