Banji is an extinct genus of oviraptorid dinosaur that lived approximately 66 million years ago during the latter part of the Cretaceous Period in what is now China. It was a small, lighly-built, ground-dwelling, bipedal carnivore, that was an estimated 65 cm (2.1 ft) long, as a juvenile. It contains only one known species, Banji long, named from the Chinese for "striped crest dragon". It was first described by Xu Xing and Feng-Lu Han in 2010.
