Peishansaurus (PAY-SHAHN-SAWR-us - meaning "north mountain lizard") was a genus of plant-eating dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period (Campanian stage), roughly 97.5-65 million years ago.

Peishansaurus was named by Bohlin in 1953 from a fragmentary jaw with some teeth. The type species is P. philemys. Peishansaurus is a doubtful genus; it is either an ankylosaur or a pachycephalosaur, but further details are unknown.

Peishansaurus is named after Peishan North Mountain in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China.
