Bothriospondylus madagascariensis is a dubious nominal species of sauropod dinosaur. It was named in 1895 by Richard Lydekker as a species of Bothriospondylus, but the specimens the species was based on are no longer considered to belong to Bothriospondylus and are considered to be Eusauropoda incertae sedis. The taxonomic history of B. madagascariensis is intertwined with that of Lapparentosaurus madagascariensis, Vouivria damparisensis, and Narindasaurus thevenini.
