Shuangmiaosaurus is a genus of dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period. It was an iguanodont which lived in China. The type species, Shuangmiaosaurus gilmorei, was described by You, Ji, Li, and Li in 2003, who originally assigned the genus to Hadrosauroidea. Subsequent authors, including David B. Norman (2004) of Cambridge University, consider it a basal iguanodont.
