Shanag is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous Period of Mongolia. The type species of Shanag is Shanag ashile. It was named and described by Alan Turner, Sunny Hai-Ching Hwang and Mark Norell in 2007. The generic name refers to the black-hatted dancers in the Buddhist Cham dance. The specific name refers to the Ashile Formation, the old name for the layers where Shanag was found, used by Henry Fairfield Osborn.
