Qantassaurus is an extinct genus of ornithopod dinosaur that lived in Australia during the Cretaceous period around 115 million years ago. It was described by Patricia Vickers-Rich and her husband Tom Rich in 1999 after a find near Inverloch, and named after Qantas, the Australian airline. The large eyes of Qantassaurus allowed it to see in the dark, making it a nocturnal dinosaur.
