Yanbeilong (meaning "north of Yanmen Pass dragon") is an extinct genus of stegosaurian dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous (Albian) Zuoyun Formation of Shanxi, China. The type and only species is Y. ultimus. It is considered one of the youngest definitive records of the group, alongside Mongolostegus from Mongolia and possible Stegosaurus remains from the Hekou Group of China, both of which date to the Aptian–Albian.[1][2][3]
