Paradictyoolithus is an oogenus of dictyoolithid dinosaur egg from the Zhejiang Province, China. They are nearly spherical eggs, measuring up to 13.9 cm (5.5 in) in diameter, and have a thin eggshell. Their shells are made up of three or four superimposed layers of eggshell units. The two known oospecies are distinguished mainly by their pore structure.
