Nasutoceratops is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsian dinosaur. It is a basal centrosaurine which lived during the late Cretaceous period (late Campanian, about 75.9-75.2 Ma) in what is now Utah, USA. It is known from the holotype UMNH VP 16800, a partially associated nearly complete skull and an associated left forelimb and from the referred materials UMNH VP 19466, a disarticulated adult skull and UMNH VP 19469, an isolated squamosal. It was discovered and collected during the Kaiparowits Basin Project, initiated by the University of Utah in 2000, from the middle unit of the Kaiparowits Formation within the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. It was first named by Eric Karl Lund, Scott D. Sampson and Mark A. Loewen in 2011 and the type species is Nasutuceratops titusi. The generic name comes from Nasutus in Latin meaning "large-nosed", and ceratops, "horned-face" in Greek. The specific name honors Alan L. Titus for recovering fossils of Nasutuceratops from GSENM. The holotype skull is approximately 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) in length. A cladistic analysis by Lund et al. showed that Nasutuceratops formed a clade with Avaceratops.
