Teihivenator ("strong hunter") is a genus of tyrannosauroid coelurosaur from the Navesink Formation of New Jersey. It contains a single species, T. macropus, originally classified as a species of Dryptosaurus (= "Laelaps", a name preoccupied by a mite). A forthcoming research paper opines that the remains of T. macropus are a mixture of non-diagnostic tyrannosauroid and ornithomimid elements, rendering the species a nomen dubium.
