Barawertornis was a dromornithid flightless bird hailing from Late Oligocene to Early Miocene Australia. The type and only species is B. tedfordi. The genus' fossil remains are found in strata of the Riversleigh deposits located at two sites in Northwestern Queensland, Australia. It was described in 1979 by Patricia Vickers-Rich from fragmentary but diagnostic remains, though more specimens have been subsequently found and assigned.
