Valdoraptor (meaning "Wealden plunderer") is a genus of theropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous. Its fossils were found in England.
The type species, V. oweni, was first described as Megalosaurus oweni by Richard Lydekker in 1889. It was reclassified, and placed in a separate genus by George Olshevsky in 1991. It is known only from bones of the feet.
