Daxiatitan is a genus of titanosauriform dinosaur from the Lower Cretaceous of Lanzhou Basin, Gansu Province, northwestern China. It is known from fossils including several neck vertebrae, a shoulder blade, and a thigh bone.[1]

It was a very large dinosaur, up to 30 meters (98 feet) long.[1] Like both Euhelopus and Huanghetitan, it had an enormously long neck.[2]
