Jeholosaurus is the name given to a genus of dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous Period. It lived in what is now China and its fossils have been found in the Yixian Formation. It was a hypsilophodont, a primitive ornithopod. Like all ornithopods, it was herbivorous.
The type species, Jeholosaurus shangyuanensis, was described using two partial skeletons by Xu, Wang and You in 2000.
