Huanghetitan (meaning "Titan of the Huanghe (chinese name for the Yellow River)"), is a genus of dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous. It was a basal titanosauriform which lived in what is now Gansu, China. The type species, Huanghetitan liujiaxiaensis, was described by You et al. in 2006.
It is known from fragmentary materials including two caudal vertebrae, an almost complete sacrum, ribs fragments, and the left scapulocoracoid and was discovered in the eastern part of the Lanzhou Basin (Hekou group) in the Gansu Province in 2004.
