Microcoelus is a dubius genus of small Titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur native to Argentina.[1][2] It is known from only a single dorsal vertebra. A left humerus was formerly referred to this species, but it is now considered to belong to Neuquensaurus.[1] This species may be a synonym of the contemporary sauropod Neuquensaurus australis.[3]
