Technosaurus (meaning "Tech lizard", for Texas Tech University) is an extinct genus of silesaurid dinosauriforms, from the Late Triassic Cooper Canyon Formation (Dockum Group) of Texas, United States.
For about 20 years after its description, it was thought to be a basal ornithischian dinosaur, but better remains of other Triassic archosaurs have cast doubt on this interpretation. As named, it was a chimera of different animals.
