"Karongasaurus" is the name given to a genus of dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous. It was a titanosaurid sauropod. Its fossils, consisting solely of part of a lower mandible and a few teeth, were found in Malawi. The type species, "Karongasaurus gittelmani", was described by Elizabeth Gomani in 2005.

"Karongasaurus" holds the distinction of being the first dinosaur published solely on-line.
