Muttaburrasaurus (do latim "lagarto de ") foi uma espécie de dinossauro herbívoro e bípede que viveu durante o período Cretáceo. Media em torno de 8 metros de comprimento e pesava cerca de 4 toneladas. A única espécie conhecida é Muttaburrasaurus langdoni. O Muttaburrasaurus viveu nas regiões que são hoje a Austrália e a Antártida. É, até então, um dos poucos dinossauros de que se sabe ter vivido na Antártida. O Muttaburrasaurus é bastante semelhante ao iguanodonte e ao hadrossauro.
