Muttaburrasaurus langdoni es la única especie conocida del género extinto Muttaburrasaurus («reptil de Muttaburra», localidad australiana en la que se encontraron restos suyos) de dinosaurio ornitópodo rabdodontomorfo, que vivió a mediados del período Cretácico, hace aproximadamente 112 a 98,6 millones de años, en el Albiense y Cenomaniense, en lo que hoy es Australia. En algunos análisis se ha encontrado que es un miembro de una familia de iguanodontianos, los Rhabdodontidae. Tras Kunbarrasaurus, es el dinosaurio no aviano de Australia mejor conocido a partir de los restos de su esqueleto.
