Dzharacursor (meaning "Dzharakuduk runner") is a genus of ornithomimid theropod dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous (Turonian age) Bissekty Formation of Uzbekistan. The type and only species is Dzharacursor bissektensis, originally assigned to the genus Archaeornithomimus.
== Discovery and naming == thumb|left|Speculative life restoration In 1995, Nesov named a new species of ornithomimosaur from the Bissekty Formation as Archaeornithomimus bissektensis, based on the holotype CCMGE 479/12457 (formerly N 479/12457), a femur of a juvenile individual, along with other referred specimens including the metatarsals. However, in subsequent studies, the affinity of A. bissektensis was generally doubted or not mentioned.
