''Dracovenator'' () is an extinct genus of dilophosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived approximately 201 to 199 million years ago during the early part of the Jurassic Period in what is now South Africa. Dracovenator was a medium sized, moderately-built, ground-dwelling, bipedal carnivore, that could grow up to an estimated long. Its type specimen was based on only a partial skull that was recovered. ==Etymology== The genus name is a contraction of the Latin words ''draco'' meaning "dragon", and ''venator'' meaning "hunter"; thus, "dragon hunter". "Draco" refers to its discovery in the foothills of Drakensberg, which is "Dragon’s Mountain" in the Dutch language. The specific name, ''regenti'', was named in the honor of the late Regent ‘Lucas’ Huma, who was Professor Kitching’s field assistant. ''Dracovenator'' was described and named by Adam M. Yates in 2006 and the type species is ''Dracovenator regenti''.
