サウロファガナクスあるいはサウロファガナックス（学名 Saurophaganax「爬虫類を食べる王」の意味）は後期ジュラ紀(1億5500万年から1億5000万年前[1])に繁栄した獣脚類の属。アメリカオクラホマ州の後期ジュラ紀のモリソン層から産出された大型のアロサウルス科[2]。全長約10.5〜13メートル、体重は2.7～3.8トンと、ティラノサウルスやギガノトサウルスなどの白亜紀の大型獣脚類に匹敵する体格を持つ、ジュラ紀最大級の獣脚類である。一回り小さい程度に成長すると考えられているアロサウルスに極めて近縁であり、かつては同一視されていたが、血道弓の形状に差異が見られることから、現在では別属とする考えが主流であるが、一部の古生物学者はこれをアロサウルス（A. maximus）の種であると考えている。サウロファガナクスは、横突起の上の背側神経棘の基部にある水平な板と「肉切り」の山形を特徴とする非常に大型のアロサウルス科に相当する[3]。
