"Yaverlandia" is a genus of theropod dinosaur. Known from a partial fossil skull found in Lower Cretaceous strata on the Isle of Wight, it was described as the earliest known member of the pachycephalosaurid family, but recent research by Darren Naish shows it to have actually been a theropod, seemingly a maniraptoran.cite journal |last=Naish |first=Darren |coauthors=and Martill, David M. |year=2008 |title=Dinosaurs of Great Britain and the role of the Geological Society of London in their discovery: Ornithischia |journal=Journal of the Geological Society, London |volume=165 |pages=613-623] "Yaverlandia" was named from where it was found, Yaverland Point.
