Lucianosaurus was an archosauriform genus of unknown affinities (Irmis et al. (2006), initially described as a basal ornithischian dinosaur, and known only from teeth. It was found in Late Triassic strata in the state of New Mexico, United States. The generic name refers the locality, Luciano Mesa, where the fossil remains were found.
