Anoplosaurus (meaning “unarmored or unarmed lizard”) is an extinct genus of herbivorous nodosaurid dinosaur from the Lower Cretaceous (late Albian age) Cambridge Greensand of Cambridgeshire, England. It has in the past been classified with either the armored dinosaurs or the ornithopods, but current thought has been in agreement with the “armored dinosaur” interpretation, placing it in the Ankylosauria.
