Nullotitan (meaning “Nullo’s giant”, in honor of paleontologist Francisco Nullo) is an extinct genus of lithostrotian titanosaur dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous Chorrillo Formation of Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. The genus contains a single species, Nullotitan glaciaris. It was a contemporary of the ornithopod Isasicursor, which was described in the same paper.
