Linheraptor is a dromaeosaurid dinosaur genus that inhabited the Late Cretaceous regions of what is modern-day China. Described by Xu Xing and fellow researchers in 2010, it comprises the species Linheraptor exquisitus. This dinosaur, with avian characteristics, measured less than 2 meters (6.5 feet) in length and was discovered in Inner Mongolia. Its remains are represented by a single, nearly complete skeleton.

Linheraptor was a theropod dinosaur with bird-like characteristics. Belonging to the dromaeosaurid family, it measured around 1.8 meters (5.9 feet) in length and weighed approximately 25 kilograms (55 pounds). At this size, Linheraptor would have been a swift and agile predator, potentially hunting small ceratopsians. It possessed typical dromaeosaurid features such as an elongated skull, a curved neck, enlarged toe claws on each foot, and a lengthy tail. Linheraptor was a bipedal carnivore, and its sizable toe claws were likely employed in capturing prey.
