Avipes (meaning "bird foot") may have been a theropod dinosaur, which lived during the Middle Triassic. Its fossils were found in Bedheim, Südthüringen, Germany, in lettenkohlensandstein deposits (a form of sandstone) and it was named in 1932 by von Huene. It is considered a nomen dubium: known only from metatarsals, not enough fossils have been found to positively categorize this animal. The type species was Avipes dillstedtianus. It was originally classified as a coelurosaur or a ceratosaur and was redescribed as an indeterminate archosaur by Rauhut and Hungerbuhler in 2000.
