Velocipes (meaning "quick foot") is a possible theropod dinosaur genus from the Late Triassic. Its fossils were found in Poland. It is not well known: in fact, the fossils are so poorly preserved that identification remains unclear. The type species, V. guerichi, was first described by von Huene in 1932. A later paper, published in 2000 by Rauhut and Hungerbuhler, classified the animal as an "indeterminate vertebrate".
