"Cedarosaurus" ("Cedar lizard" - named after the Cedar Mountain Formation, in which it was discovered) was a nasal-crested brachiosaurid dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous Period (Barremian). It was a sauropod which lived in what is now Utah. It was first described by Tidwell, Carpenter and Brooks in 1999, published in Oryctos, Dec. 1999, 2: 21-37.

It shows similarities to the brachiosaurid "Eucamerotus" from the Wessex Formation of southern England, as well as to "Brachiosaurus" from the Morrison Formation.
