Qinlingosaurus is a genus of sauropod dinosaur from Cretaceous Asia. The type species, Q. luonanensis, was named by Xue, Zhang and Bi in 1996 on the strength of an ilium, ischium and three vertebrae. From such little fossil evidence, it is classified as Sauropoda incertae sedis. The name comes from the Qinling mountain range of Shaanxi Province in China, where the first fossils were recovered.
