Bradycneme (meaning "ponderous leg") is a genus of theropod dinosaur from the Upper Cretaceous-aged (Maastrichtian) Sânpetru Formation of the Hațeg Basin, Transylvania, Romania. The type species is Bradycneme draculae, known only from a partial right lower leg (specimen BMNH A1588), which its original describers believed it came from a giant owl.
