Jinfengopteryx (from Jinfeng, 'golden phoenix', the queen of birds in Chinese folklore, and Ancient Greek πτερυξ pteryx, meaning 'feather') is a genus of 55 cm (2 ft) long maniraptoran dinosaur. It was found in the Qiaotou Formation of Hebei Province, China, and is therefore of uncertain age. The Qiaotou Formation underlies the more well-known Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation, so the Qiaotou Formation is either Early Cretaceous or Late Jurassic. Jinfengopteryx was preserved with extensive impressions of pennaceous feathers, but it lacks flight feathers on its hind legs, which are present in related dinosaurs such as Pedopenna.
