Vagaceratops (meaning “wandering (vagus, Latin) horned face”, in reference to its close relationship with Kosmoceratops from Utah) is a genus of chasmosaurine ceratopsid dinosaur which lived during the Late Cretaceous period (late Campanian) in what is now Alberta. Its fossils have been recovered from the Upper Dinosaur Park Formation. It is sometimes included in the genus Chasmosaurus as Chasmosaurus irvinensis instead of being recognized as its own genus.
