Fukuiraptor ("thief of Fukui") is a genus of medium-sized megaraptoran theropod dinosaur of the Early Cretaceous epoch (either Barremian or Aptian) that lived in what is now Japan. Fukuiraptor is known from the Kitadani Formation and possibly also the Sebayashi Formation. Fukuiraptor may have been one of the basalmost members of Megaraptora, or a sister taxon to Australovenator.
