Coeluroides ("hollow form") is a small, little-known theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period in what is now India. It is known from scattered tail vertebrae discovered in the Lameta Formation. It is estimated at two meters long and perhaps thirty kilograms in weight, similar to but larger than Jubbulpuria. Coeluroides was long considered a nomen dubium because of sparse remains, but a 2004 overview of Indian theropods from the Lameta Formation found it to be probably valid. An SVP 2012 abstract considers it possibly synonymous with Ornithomimoides.

The type species, Coeluroides largus, was described by Friedrich von Huene and Matley in 1933.
