Sinopliosaurus es un género representado por una única especie de plesiosaurio pliosauroide, que vivió en el período Cretácico, hace aproximadamente 110 y 100 millones de años, entre el Aptiense y Albiense, en lo que ahora es China. El holotipo, IVPP V4793, se encontró en la , en Fusui, China. Sinopliosaurus fusuiensis, descrito originalmente como un Sauropterygia, en 2008, Buffetaut, E., Suteethorn, V., Tong, H. & Amiot, R., lo han descrito como un espinosáurido pariente del Siamosaurus de Tailandia.
