Boreonykus is an extinct genus of dromaeosaurid dinosaur, that lived during the Late Cretaceous in the area of present Canada.
Fragmentary dromaeosaurid remains were discovered in the 1980s at the Pipestone Creek site in central Alberta during excavations of a bonebed containing at least twenty-seven individuals of the ceratopsid Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai. They were initially partly referred to a Saurornitholestes sp in 2001.
