Xuanhuaceratops is a genus of dinosaur from the Late Jurassic Period (dated to 148 million years ago). A member of the family Chaoyangsauridae, it was one of the earliest ceratopsians (Weishampel et al. 2004; Xu et al. 2006; Zhao et al. 2006). The fossils were found in Hebei Province, northeastern China.

 This dinosaur was described in a report in the journal Acta Geologica Sinica by Chinese paleontologist Zhao Xijin and colleagues. Xuanhuaceratops had previously been mentioned in press as "Xuanhuasaurus", a nomen nudum.
