Lamplughsaura is a genus of Saurischian dinosaur from the Sinemurian-age (Early Jurassic) Dharmaram Formation of India, between 196 to 190 million years ago. The type species is L. dharmaramensis. It is known from several partial skeletons of a large quadrepedal animal up to 10 meters (33 ft) long, and was either a basal sauropod or, less likely, a more basal Sauropodomorph. It was named after Pamela Lamplugh, founder of the Indian Statistical Institute.
