Kuszholia (meaning "Milky Way bird" after the Kazakh term for the Milky Way, құс жолы qus jolı) is the name given to a genus of primitive birds or bird-like dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous.

==History== Fossils were found in the Bissekty Formation in the Kyzyl Kum desert of Bukhara Province, in Uzbekistan; these have been described as vertebrae from a "chicken-sized" animal. These fossils were described by Russian paleontologist Lev Alexandrovich Nesov in 1992.
