Ningchengopterus is a genus of pterodactyloid pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous-age Yixian Formation of China. It is known from a juvenile specimen, holotype CYGB-0035, an almost complete skeleton also showing soft parts, such as the flight membrane and pycnofibres. The type species is N. liuae. The genus name refers to the Ningcheng district in Inner Mongolia; the specific name honours the collector of the fossil Ms Liu Jingyi
