中华龙鸟科（学名：Sinosauropterygidae）是虚骨龙类下的一个科，包含了部分曾被认为属于美颌龙科的物种，该科大部分物种都属于热河生物群。^[1]

历史

中华龙鸟科最初建立于1996年，该科最初被确立为包含中华龙鸟属的单型科。^[2]在随后的研究中，中华龙鸟被归入了美颌龙科，中华龙鸟科因此被视为美颌龙科的异名。一些研究人员反对美颌龙科的单系性，有的研究人员认为美颌龙科是虚骨龙类下的并系群，^[3]其他的则认为美颌龙科实际上是个多系群，因为被归入美颌龙科的标本有很大一部分属于未成年个体，而这些个体的一些特征可能会在生长发育过程中改变。^[4]^[5]^[6]2025年，裘锐等人在描述中国华诞龙与凌源中华龙鸟的文章中同样反对了美颌龙科的单系性，并支持了中华龙鸟科的有效性。^[1]

分类

中华龙鸟科最初被归入鸟纲，属于拟订的中华龙鸟目（学名：Sinosauropterygiformes）。^[2]裘锐等人于2025年修订了中华龙鸟科的定义，将其定义为了包含热河生物群所有美颌龙样兽脚类恐龙（即中华龙鸟、华诞龙、华夏颌龙和中华丽羽龙）的科，通过系统发育分析，巴西的小坐骨龙也很可能属于该科，此外基于TWiG（Theropod Working Group）矩阵分析时，美颌龙和侏罗猎龙也属于该科：^[1]
