Stegosaurus was most closely related to other stegosaurs, such as Kentrosaurus. Its next closest relatives were other Thyreophora, i.e., the ankylosaurs. The closest living relatives of Stegosaurus, however, are birds, which evolved from theropod dinosaurs. All birds are equally related to Stegosaurus.
