Hypselosaurus (meaning 'highest lizard', from Greek υψηλος meaning 'high' or 'lofty' and σαυρος meaning 'lizard') was a 27 foot long titanosaur sauropod that lived in European countries such as Romania, during the Late Cretaceous Period.
Its legs were unusually thick, but were one quarter of the size of those of other titanosaurid dinosaurs.
The type species, H. priscus, was described by Matheron in 1869.
