Mexidracon (meaning "Mexican dragon") is an extinct genus of ornithomimid theropod dinosaurs from the late Cretaceous Cerro del Pueblo Formation of Coahuila, Mexico. The genus contains a single species, M. longimanus, known from a partial skeleton. Mexidracon is the second ornithomimosaur to be named from this formation, following the deinocheirid Paraxenisaurus in 2020.[1][2]
