Juratyrant is a genus of dinosaur belonging to the group Tyrannosauroidea. It lived during the Middle Jurassic period, approximately 165 to 161 million years ago. The first fossils of Juratyrant were discovered in England, making it a significant find for the study of prehistoric life in Europe. Initially classified as a Stokesosaurus, the idea was later rejected, and it now constitutes its own distinct genus: Juratyrants, belonging to the superfamily Tyrannosauroidea.

Juratyrant was a medium-sized dinosaur, measuring around 20 feet (6 meters) in length. As a member of the tyrannosauroid group, it exhibited some defining features that set it apart from other dinosaurs.

One of the most notable characteristics of Juratyrant was its robust skull, equipped with powerful jaws lined with sharp, blade-like teeth. These teeth, along with its strong bite force, suggest that it was a formidable predator, capable of taking down a variety of prey.

Additionally, Juratyrant had long, slender legs, indicating that it was likely a fast and agile predator.

The species is represented by a sole specimen, which comprises an "associated partial skeleton" featuring a complete pelvis, along with partially complete leg and neck, back, and tail vertebrae. This remarkable fossil was unearthed in Dorset in 1984. Although mentioned in several papers, its formal description did not take place until 2008. The species was aptly named in tribute to Peter Langham, a commercial fossil collector who made the significant discovery.
