Sarabosaurus (from the Arabic "sarab", meaning desert mirage and the Greek "sauros", meaning lizard) is a monospecific genus of plioplatecarpine mosasaurid from the lower Turonian Tropic Shale of Utah, United States. The type and only species, S. dahli, was named in honor of Steve Dahl, a volunteer at the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Kanab, Utah.
