Koreanosaurus boseongensis (meaning "Korean lizard") is an extinct genus of ornithischian from South Korea. It is known for its unusually long arms. Koreanosaurus was considered to be a basal member of the Ornithopoda by the authors, forming a clade with Zephyrosaurus schaffi, Orodromeus makelai and Oryctodromeus cubicularis from which they deduced a burrowing lifestyle. Han et al. found it plausible that Koreanosaurus might be a member of Jeholosauridae or closely related to it.
