Levnesovia is a genus of hadrosauroid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous (Turonian) Bissekty Formation of Uzbekistan.[1] It was related to Bactrosaurus. The type species is L. transoxiana. The genus name honours the late Russian paleontologist Lev Nessov, and the specific name refers to the ancient region Transoxiana.[1] It is known from partial skulls, maxillae, dentaries and numerous bones of the postcranial skeleton.
