Ornithomimodes ("bird mimmic-like") is a dubious genus of small theropod dinosaur, from the Late Cretaceous period (Coniacian to Santonian stages, 85-83 mya) of India. Two species have been itenditified, though they are known only from isolated vertebrae. O. barasimlensis is known from five dorsal vertebrae, and O. mobilis from four smaller vertebrae, found at the same location. It is possible that they were very small species of carnosaur, and may have measured around 2 meters (6ft) in length).
