Meilifeilong (meaning "beautiful flying dragon") is an extinct genus of chaoyangopterid pterosaurs from the Early Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation of China. The genus contains two species: M. youhao, known from an almost complete skeleton and a partial skull, and M. sanyainus, originally described as a species of Shenzhoupterus. The Meilifeilong youhao holotype represents the best-preserved and most complete chaoyangopterid discovered so far.
