Aublysodon ( " backward-looking tooth" ) is a dinosaur from the taxon tyrannosaur from the Late Cretaceous of the United States, is known only from a few tooth fossils.

Joseph Leidy led to the description of the beast 1868, the name Aublysodon mirandus one. In the 1980s, parts of a skull were very similar teeth in the U.S. found. Gregory S. Paul suggested a new label called Aublysodon MOLNÁRI for this Fund. Derive from the frequency of finds, Aublysodon seems to have been fairly widespread in the U.S. - but the teeth are kept rather for residues of juvenile specimens of Tyrannosaurus rex or Nanotyrannus now. Scientists classify Aublysodon dubium today as a noun, so that the name Aublysodon similar Deinodon, is rarely used at the present time.
