Dromaeosaurus (/ ˌ d r oʊ m i ə ˈ s ɔːr ə s,-m i. oʊ-/; [3] lit. ' running lizard ') is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period (middle late Campanian and Maastrichtian), sometime between 80 and 69 million years ago, in Alberta, Canada and the western United States.
The genus contains a single species, Utahraptor ostrommaysi. It is the largest-known member of the family Dromaeosauridae, measuring about 6–7 metres (20–23 ft) long and typically weighing up to 500 kilograms (1,100 lb).

Despite the resemblance, Dromaeosauroides is not considered part of that genus.
