Qinlingosaurus is a genus of herbivorous sauropod from the late Cretaceous, one of the last in Asia. The fossil evidence is very limited: it is only an ilium, ischium and three vertebrae.

The type species is Qinlingosaurus luonanensis. The generic name comes from where the first fossils were found in the Qinling mountain range in China.
