Atrociraptor is an extinct genus of dromaeosaur theropod dinosaur that lived in Alberta, Canada during the Late Cretaceous period. It lived in the Horshoe Canyon Formation, living alongside famous species such as the Albertosaurus, Edmontonia, Edmontosaurus, Ornithomimus, Pachyrhinosaurus, and Struthiomimus.
One feature that defines this dromaeosaur from other genera is its somewhat short and tall skull with teeth featuring large serrations giving it the look of a bulky-snouted animal, in which it is hypothesized that Atrociraptor may have had a strong bite force than other dromaeosaurs or had specialized teeth to bite differently compared to its kin.
