Dryptosauroides (meaning "similar in form to Dryptosaurus") is a dubious genus of possibly abelisauroid theropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Lameta Formation of India. It has been estimated at long and in weight.
Its fossils consist of six caudal vertebrae, together forming type specimens GSI IM K20/334, 609, K27/549, 601, 602 and 626. The vertebrae, originally incorrectly identified as dorsals, are long. These remains are today commonly considered to be indistinguishable from those of other theropods from the same formation. A cervical vertebra, four rib heads, and a dorsal rib have also been assigned to Dryptosauroides (D. sp.), but they may have belonged to a different theropod.
