Shuangmiaosaurus is a genus of herbivorous iguanodontian ornithopod dinosaur which lived in China during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 100 million years ago.
The type species, Shuangmiaosaurus gilmorei, was named and described by You Hailu, Ji Qiang Li Jinglu and Li Yinxian in 2003. The generic name refers to the village of Shuangmiao in Beipiao in Liaoning Province, the site of the discovery. The specific name honours the American paleontologist Charles Whitney Gilmore.
