Albertonykus (meaning "Alberta claw") is a genus of alvarezsaurid dinosaur from Lower Maastrichtian-age (Upper Cretaceous) rocks of the Horseshoe Canyon Formation of Alberta, Canada. It is known from forelimb and hindlimb remains from multiple individuals recovered from the Dry Island Provincial Park. All but two of the specimens come from a bonebed dominated by Albertosaurus. Albertonykus is interpreted as having fed on wood-nesting termites because the forelimbs appear to be specialized for digging, but are too short for burrowing. Albertonykus is the earliest-known North American alvarezsaurid; isolated remains of alvarezsaurids are known from later rock units in Montana and Wyoming (USA). Albertonykus war ein später Coelurosauria und gehörte zur Familie der Alvarezsauridae. Sein Fund bestärkt die Hypothese, dass die Alvarezsaurier ihren Ursprung in Südamerika hatten und dann über Nordamerika nach Asien wanderten. Die Entdeckung der Albertonykus liefert wichtige Einblicke in die Biologie der Alvarezsauridae.

Albertonykus (meaning "Alberta claw") is a genus of alvarezsaurid dinosaur from Lower Maastrichtian-age (Upper Cretaceous) rocks of the Horseshoe Canyon Formation of Alberta, Canada. It is known from forelimb and hindlimb remains from multiple individuals recovered from the Dry Island Provincial Park. All but two of the specimens come from a bonebed dominated by Albertosaurus. Albertonykus is interpreted as having fed on wood-nesting termites because the forelimbs appear to be specialized for digging, but are too short for burrowing. Albertonykus is the earliest-known North American alvarezsaurid; isolated remains of alvarezsaurids are known from later rock units in Montana and Wyoming (USA). The type species is A. borealis, described by Nicholas Longrich and Philip Currie in 2008. The specific name (borealis) means "north".
