Ajnabia (berarti "yang asing") adalah sebuah genus dinosaurus hadrosauridae lambeosaurine dari peroide Kapur Akhir (Maastrichtian) di Maroko. Genus ini menjadi hadrosaurid pasti pertama dari Afrika yang pernah ditemukan, dan dianggap berkerabat dengan hadrosaurid Eropa seperti Adynomosaurus dan Pararhabdodon. Penemuan Ajnabia mengejutkan paleontolog yang menemukannya karena Afrika terisolasi oleh air dari seluruh dunia selama periode Kapur, sehingga sebelumnya hadrosaurid diasumsikan tidak mampu mencapai benua tersebut.[1][2]
