Dracovenator is the name of a genus of dinosaur from the Early Jurassic. It was a theropod which lived in what is now South Africa.

 The type species, Dracovenator regenti, was formally described by A.M. Yates in 2006. The genus name is a contraction of the Latin draco, "dragon", and venator, "hunter". Found in the Elliot Formation, it was according to a first cladistic analysis forming a clade with the basal theropods Dilophosaurus and Zupaysaurus in this analysis. Only a partial skull has been recovered.

 Dracovenator is estimated to have measured between 5.5 and 6.5 meters (18 and 21 feet) in length.
