Mirasaura (meaning "wonderful reptile") is an extinct genus of drepanosauromorph reptiles known from the Middle Triassic (Anisian age) Grès à Voltzia Formation of France. The genus contains a single species, Mirasaura grauvogeli, known from two partial skeletons preserving the skull, most of the body, and the soft tissue crest, in addition to 80 incomplete specimens preserving isolated parts of this crest. Like the closely related Longisquama, Mirasaura bears an unusual crest of elongated appendages over its back, likely serving a display purpose.
