Wulagasaurus (meaning "Wulaga lizard", in reference to the discovery locality) is a genus of hadrosaurine hadrosaurid dinosaur (flat-headed duckbilled dinosaur) from the Late Cretaceous of Heilongjiang, China. Its remains were found in a bonebed in the Maastrichtian-age Yuliangze Formation. This bonebed is otherwise dominated by fossils of the lambeosaurine hadrosaurid (crested duckbill) Sahaliyania. Wulagasaurus was named by Pascal Godefroit and colleagues in 2008. Only partial remains are known at this time. It is one of several hadrosaurids from the Amur River region named since 2000. The type and only species to date is W. dongi, named in honor of Chinese paleontologist Dong Zhiming.
