Liubangosaurus (meaning "Liubang lizard", after the name of the holotype locality) is a genus of sauropod dinosaur which lived during the Early Cretaceous in what is now China. Liubangosaurus is known from the holotype NHMG8152, five nearly complete and articulated middle-caudal dorsal vertebrae referred to as.
