Histriasaurus (HIS-tree-ah-SAWR-us) (meaning “Istria lizard”) is a genus of sauropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous (Hauterivian to Barremian stages, around 135-125 million years ago) of Croatia. It has been suggested to be a rebbachisaurid, and if so one of the oldest known members of the group.
