Koutalisaurus (meaning “spoon lizard”, in reference to the shape of the dentary) is a potentially dubious genus of lambeosaurine hadrosaurid dinosaur based on a mostly complete dentary recovered from the Maastrichtian-aged (Late Cretaceous) Tremp Formation near the town of Abella de la Conca, Lleida, Spain.
