Ozraptor is a genus of dinosaur that lived during the Middle Jurassic period, approximately 170 to 168 million years ago. It belongs to the group Theropoda, which encompasses a wide variety of bipedal carnivorous dinosaurs. The first fossils of Ozraptor were discovered in Australia, in the Wonthaggi Formation of Victoria.

As a member of the Theropoda group, Ozraptor was a bipedal predator with sharp, serrated teeth, meaning it was carnivorous by nature. However, due to the limited nature of the fossils, scientists have not been able to determine its precise size and what it looked like with certainty. A single partial leg bone specimen was discovered, measuring 8 centimeters (3.1 inches) in length and 4 centimeters (1.6 inches) in width at the lower end. Based on these dimensions, estimations were made for the complete shinbone, which was calculated to be approximately 17 to 20 centimeters (6.7 to 7.9 inches) in length, and for the entire animal, which was estimated to be around 2 meters (6.6 feet) in size.

The name "Ozraptor" is derived from the colloquial term "Oz," which refers to Australia, and "raptor," meaning "thief" or "robber" in Latin, a common suffix used for theropod dinosaurs. It represents a fascinating piece of Australia's dinosaur puzzle.

Only known from one partial leg bone, Ozraptor is not easy to classify. In 1998 the scientists could not more precisely determine the classification than a Theropoda incertae sedis. In 2004 it was thought it was a member of the Avetheropoda. In 2005 another study, suggested that it was indeed a theropod, and to be more accurate, a member of the Abelisauroidea based on the presence of the distinct vertical median ridge on the astragalar groove. Classified as one, Ozraptor would be the oldest known abelisauroid. However, it was later concluded that none of these chararcterists are limited to abelisaurs, and so Ozraptor can at be classified as Theropoda indet.
