What could be more dangerous (or more awesome) than a T. rex? A T. rex that flies and breathes fire.
This is a good example of a trope that appears to be changing from one thing to another. Basically, some people just can't get over how similar some dinosaurs are to dragons.
Both are big lizardy things, right? They're already so similar, why not have all dinosaurs be fearsome carnivores? Because hey — big lizard things just have to eat meat, just like dragons! And if they ever meet with humans, they must messily devour them all! Just like dragons!
And while we're at it, why not associate dinosaurs with lava-spewing volcanoes? Or even give them the ability to breathe fire? It'd be a shame not to, right?
This is especially prevalent in pulp adventure novels, B-movies, and video games set in prehistoric worlds where Everything's Trying To Kill You.
There is a bit more justification for this confusion in Eastern media; the shared (Chinese character) word for "dinosaur" in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese is æ��é¾�.note Chinese pinyin: kÇ’nglóng; Japanese: kyÅ�ryÅ«; Korean: gonglyong which literally means "terrible dragon". It was originally coined by Japanese paleontologist Yokoyama MatajirÅ�, based on the Ancient Greek origins of "dinosaur" in deinos (terrible) + sauros (lizard), and later adopted by other academics in China and Korea. "Dragon" was used in the translated name because it evoked the image of a large reptilian creature; an alternative, æ��蜥, meaning "terrible lizard", was also proposed, but didn't catch on.note Incidentally, when people discovered fossil bones in ancient China, they also believed that they were dragon bones. Many crushed dinosaur fossils were sold over the years as "dragon bone powder."
The Western origins of this trope are a bit more complicated. It may also have something to do with the popular notion that associates ancient times with loads and loads of flame-spewing volcanoes. There was a lot of volcanic activity during the Cretaceous, but it certainly was nowhere near as violent as depicted in fiction. The ancient past more or less resembled the modern world, so no more rivers of lava and hellfire raining down everywhere than it happens today. But take a look at early paleo-art and you'll not only see tons of lava, but also many dinosaurs who look suspiciously like dragons wandering in this hellish, primeval, pre-human landscape. Some art critics, like W. J. T. Mitchell, have wondered if the older "tripod stance" seen in early depictions of bipedal dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex is meant to at least subconsciously bring to mind images of the Biblical "upright serpent". Speaking of, this trope probably has some relationship with the belief, held by both certain creationists and some cryptozoologists, that some dinosaurs survived the mass extinction and inspired the stories of dragons. One Kent Hovind goes so far as to say that some species "must" have breathed fire (because The Bible — or at least the King James Version — mentions dragons...even though it says nothing about those dragons breathing fire) and may still exist in some Lost World in The Amazon Rainforest or somewhere. Other creationists even think literal dragons and other mythical creatures actually existed and met humans (along with dinosaurs).
Part of the issue is what constitutes a "dragon" has changed with language and time.
Linguistically speaking, big reptiles such as crocodilians are dragons in a sense. If one showed a European or Asian Medieval passerby a crocodile or alligator, they would immediately identify it as a dragon. This is because the term "dragon" was once often used for crocodilians and large lizards. Even today, the Chinese Alligator's Mandarin name means "Earth Dragon" and the Hebrew word translated as "Dragon" is still used for crocodiles. This is one reason why many early tales of dragons that lack fantastical elements sound suspiciously like crocodile attacks and why references to crocodiles were often translated as "Dragons" in the English printings of The Bible. The fact these animals didn't live in areas of some dragon legends only fueled the myth as traits would get exaggerated in traveler tales, as they were for most foreign animals.
But as the Medieval era gave way to the Renaissance and early modern era in the West, dragons took on a more mythic proportion with larger size and uncanny nature. Meanwhile the animals once called dragons like monitor lizards and crocodiles, once seen as foreign, exotic and potentially monstrous animals seen on the ends of the earth; were gradually seen as more and more mundane. And so they received new names popularized to separate them from the myth. So if a crocodile, the largest and most powerful reptile on the planet can't be a dragon; their ancient dinosaur cousins filled the niche well.
The older version of the trope is gradually becoming more and more discredited as it filters into the pop-culture consciousness that dinosaurs, really, were just another kind of animal. The newer version comes at the issue from a different angle: now it's more like Dragons Are Dinosaurs. Quite a few anthropologists are now suggesting that many of the legends of fantastic beasts were based upon misinterpreted fossils. This may also tie into recent depictions of Feathered Dragons — as it's a well-established fact by now that some carnivorous dinosaurs were birdlike, feathered animals (in fact, it's currently understood that dinosaurs would be better described as proto-birds than as big lizards, to the point that modern biologists actually differentiate between "avian dinosaurs" and "non-avian dinosaurs" rather than between birds and dinosaurs), dragons associated with them may be given feathers of their own as a result.
In any case, look for fantasy worlds where wizards are finding dragon fossils and local legendary dragons who turn out to be surviving dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs are Dragons may be considered a subtrope of Prehistoric Monster, which talks about the pop-portraits of general prehistoric life. See also Our Dragons Are Different, Fiery Salamander, Here There Were Dragons, Giant Flyer, Reptiles Are Abhorrent, Terror-dactyl, and (naturally) Artistic License – Paleontology.
Note that this is not limited to dinosaurs, and can apply to other prehistoric reptiles such as pterosaurs. If they're ridden on, then their riders would count as a more terrestrial variant of Dragon Rider. Training, taming, and just otherwise working with draconic dinosaurs makes someone a variant of Dragon Tamer.

Digimon is full of dinosaur mons which can breathe fire, primarily of the Tyrannosaurus rex variety. Many of these fill the role of The Hero's Bond Creature in any given series, when that role isn't filled by an actual dragon mon. Greymon and GeoGreymon are nearly perfect embodiments of this trope. It's justified in the case of Guilmon; he's an Ascended Fanboy's drawing come to life, was specifically based upon the aforementioned Greymon, and isn't particularly bright to begin with.
An odd variation of the trope: the "dramon" family is a subset of mons possessing the "DNA" of a dragon ancestor mon and thus considered to be "true" dragons, and this grouping does include some obvious dinosaurs, Tyrannosaurus rex-based or otherwise. Not all "dramon" Digimon can breathe fire, but the trope applies in the sense of them being considered dragons. For example: Cannondramon, a Cyborg Digimon of this family, looks like a diplodocus with railguns strapped to its back.
All cases are quite likely justified given the nature of Digimon as a whole: many are stated to be the product of accumulating data on one given subject from the internet given life, so in an in-universe sense, Digimon uses this trope because its users of this trope were specifically born of this trope's prevalence.

Monster Hunter: For the most part, the setting's wyverns are simply that — purely draconic monsters with no particular links to dinosaurs. However, two particular families of wyverns, the Bird Wyverns and the Brute Wyverns, resemble real-life dinosaurs more than they do any actual dragon.
Most Bird Wyverns are Feathered Dragons that resemble, well, birds — some to the point of being essentially actual birds with a few draconic characteristics. Several other such wyverns, though, are for all intents and purposes stereotypical, featherless raptorial dinosaurs. Later generations, however, mix these two categories with wyverns such as Maccao that strongly resemble real-life feathered dinosaurs.
Brute Wyverns are powerfully built, flightless, bipedal creatures, most of which tend to use Tyrannosaurus rex and other bulky theropods as their base form. So far though, only one of them has a Breath Weapon. The Anjanath in World resembles a fire-breathing T. rex in every respect, with the addition of a noseridge and spinal fins it can flare when angry.

Primal Rage: Diablo is a fire-breathing Tyrannosaurus rex named Diablo. He's a God of Evil in the shape of a T. rex, so he at least has a justification for it. This applies to nearly all the monsters in the game. They are ancient gods known as the Draconians yet most of them resemble dinosaurs. Sauron and Diablo are Tyrannosaur monsters, Armadon is some sort of Ankylosaur/Triceratops/Stegosaur hybrid, and Talon is a Deinonychus god (Only Vertigo, Chaos, and Blizzard are not saurian in appearance with Vertigo being an inter-dimensional cobra goddess and Chaos and Blizzard being ape/yeti monsters respectively). However, they aren't dinosaurs. They just look like dinosaurs and were even stated to have caused the extinction of the actual dinosaurs in the game's storyline.

Prehistoric Park Reimagined:
Heavily invoked in how several dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals end up coincidentally named after dragons from various myths and media.
Later played with in the form of a newly discovered In-Universe species of giant oceanic choristodere with physical appearances that greatly evoke the image of an oceanic dragon. Appropriately enough, they even get named 'dracosuchus' (which roughly translates to 'dragon crocodile').
Finally, the Spinosaurus are described multiple times over the course of their debut mission in ways that heavily evoke the appearance of dragons.

Skylanders:
Bash is classified as an Earth dragon. The fact that he's without wings and fire breath can be attributed to the fact that he's affiliated with Earth, but he also has an ankylosaur-like mace tail and ceratopsian-style frilled head; and he can even get a horned helmet that is explicitly modeled on a Triceratops.
Dino-Rang is a dinosaur-man who gets rather peeved when he's mistaken for a dragon.

The skull of the pachycephalosaur Dracorex hogwartsia is housed at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. Its name, which means "Hogwarts' Dragon King", was voted on by fans of Harry Potter. Most visitors probably see past the name. Though Dracorex's head does look a lot like a horned dragon, so the name fits in this case. However, adept paleontologists will notice that the Dracorex's fossil has molars and incisors, rather than canines; it was a herbivore (and further research strongly suggests it's actually just the juvenile form of Pachycephalosaurus, which unfortunately would mean the name Dracorex would be discarded).

Power Rangers / Super Sentai:
In Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger / Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, the Five-Man Band got mecha that were either dinosaurs or prehistoric animals we're fairly certain existed. The Sixth Ranger? Giant mechanical dragon. This goes further in Zyuranger, because these particular heroes are actually warriors who existed at the time of the dinosaurs and who were revived in the modern age, and their "designations" (i.e. their Ranger names and their mecha) are actually dinosaur gods that watch over and protect them.
When PR started using Gosei Sentai Dairanger footage, the dinosaur (or not) Humongous Mecha were explicitly transformed into mythical creature Humongous Mecha — the Tyrannosaurus became a dragon.
Power Rangers: Dino Thunder has the White Ranger with what's clearly a pterosaur mecha — called the "Drago zord", if only because "Tupuxuarazord" kinda doesn't roll off the tongue.
The literal translation of Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger is "Knight Dragon Squadron Dragon Soul Ranger" ("ryu" means "dragon" in Japanese) and their Humongous Mecha are dinosaurs instead of dragons. However, this probably is related to the fact that, as explained in the Real Life section below, the Japanese word for "dinosaur" incorporates "ryu" to begin with (it's "kyoryu"; meaning "fearsome dragon").

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Dragons are dinosaurs... sort of. Dinosaur Ryuzaki (Rex Raptor in the 4Kids version) has a Dinosaur-themed deck. However, his two strongest monsters, Serpent Night Dragon and Red-Eyes Black Dragon, are dragons. (And in his second duel with Jonouchi later, he adds Tyrant Dragon to his deck.) Possibly justified as dragons are not affected by the arbitrary dinosaur weakness, and Ryuzaki may even be exploiting the confusion here. This is likely because there were too few dinosaur cards at the time the character was created to make a full deck, so obviously the next best thing is dragons. One of his signature dinosaurs, Two-Headed King Rex, is a horned, two-headed dragon-like creature with a pair of wings. One of his other dinosaurs, Sword Dragon (Sword Arm Dragon) looks much more like a dinosaur, although very spiky and has a sword-like tail.
Almost all of the Dinosaur-Type monsters in the various Yu-Gi-Oh! video games are shown breathing fire for their attacks.
Ryuzaki specifically notes that the Serpent Night Dragon and the Red-Eyes Black Dragon are his special rare cards (he won the Serpent Night Dragon at a tournament), which makes them an acceptable exception to his dinosaur-themed deck. He's just showing off by having them — and ends up losing both anyway.
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Jim "Crocodile" Cook's deck features Fossil Dragons, which are essentially walking fossilized dinosaur skeletons. He explains that this is a tribute to the above-mentioned "dragon bones" confusion. For the record, the Fossil Dragons in question are neither Dragon nor Dinosaur: they're Rock.
Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V: While Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and all of its forms are Dragon-Types, most of them resemble dinosaurs, due to their lack of wings and their primary way of locomotion, which is running.

Final Fantasy XII somewhat rationalizes this by defining the dragon genus as an overarching term for most large reptiles, so including the more traditional wyrms and wyverns and the more historical theropods in the same evolutionary chain.

In World of Warcraft, dinosaurs are clearly labeled "beasts" instead of "dragonkin". Also, just to be fair, while few people know this, it is heavily implied in some tauren quests that the "thunder lizards" (lightning shooting stegodons) are not dinosaurs, but magical beasts (that Blizz just reused the model of for the stegodons) of a different sort.

The Great Zoo of China: Quite literally. They're a dinosaur species that were hibernating deep underground during the extinction, which have been checking now and again to see if the world has become hot enough for them all to come out, which is the reason that so many ancient cultures had dragon myths despite being isolated from each other.

Kent "Dr Dino" Hovind claims that dinosaurs were dragons, breathed fire, rode on Noah's Ark and may still be alive in remote places (and was possibly the inspiration for the Waterloo Road example above).
Though some others do claim dragon legends come from human and dinosaur co-existence (mainly young-earth creationists, as opposed to old-earth or progressive creationists, who are more likely to say that it was just the fossils that were the inspiration). It's just that hardly any make the much larger jump from "dragons are inspired by dinosaurs" to "dinosaurs breathed fire."
Recent billboards for the Creation Museum have been using dinosaurs to attract children and parents to spend money at the venue. Among the dinosaur signs is a fire-breathing dragon.

Dragon Cave: While most of the dragons are fully based on classical mythology (either Eastern or Western style), this is played straighter with the "wyverns", a sub-category of Western dragons whose have wings in the place of arms, giving the impression of a flying, magical velociraptor. There are also the inexplicable actual dinosaurs that very rarely show up, but those are shout-outs to Yoshi.

Prince Staghorn's Known World: Played with. While dragons here are descended from varanid lizards, making them closer to the marine reptiles known as the mosasaurs, certain dinosaur species can actually breathe fire, and more than a few species of dinosaurs have foregone feathered wings in favor of bat-like ones. However, most characters in the setting seem to know the difference between the two.

Warcraft: Mostly averted. There are several creatures that look like dinosaurs or other prehistoric reptiles, most notably devilsaurs (T. rex with some spines on their back), raptors, treshadons (plesiosaur-lookalikas) and stegodons (stegosaur-like creatures with a large horned head instead of a tiny one like the real things had). Most don't breathe fire, but many stegodon variants (called thunder lizards) shoot lightning out of their horn. A lot of these are also commonly found in areas with lots of lava.
In World of Warcraft, dinosaurs are clearly labeled "beasts" instead of "dragonkin". Also, just to be fair, while few people know this, it is heavily implied in some tauren quests that the "thunder lizards" (lightning shooting stegodons) are not dinosaurs, but magical beasts (that Blizz just reused the model of for the stegodons) of a different sort.
An NPC in Un'Goro Crater can be constantly heard shouting about dragons and his attempts to kill them. When you finally meet the man (Maxamillian of Northshire) it turns out the dragons are, well, dinosaurs.
Played straight with the Salamanders, though. They're red-colored versions (though the Vizier Salamander is purple for some reason) of the green skinned, stegosaur-like Thunder Lizards that breathe fire and live around lava.

The Dragon Kings are actually sapient humanoid saurians — either raptors, ankylosaurs, pterosaurs or mosasaurs, depending on the specific breed.
There is a kind of wild animal called an ox-dragon that is very clearly meant to be a ceraptosid, while pelagic dragons are huge plesiosaurs and sea dragons are mosasaurs.

Cardfight!! Vanguard: There are a lot of dragons, but the Tachikaze clan, being prehistoric-themed, are the only clan with dinosaur-themed units. They have a unique race of robotic dinosaurs called the "Dinodragons" — which makes no reference to their most unique feature (the robotic parts) but instead bafflingly labels them as another kind of dragon. Furthermore, in the Seal Dragons Unleashed booster set, an archetype of similarly-named units was introduced, called the "Ancient Dragons", which are all just robotic dinosaurs with a distinctive colour scheme.

Crash Bash: The dragons seen in the "Dragon Drop" minigame definitely invoke this trope. They look like Baby T except with bat-like ears, minuscule wings, and different colours. The 'T' in 'Baby T', as hinted by the trope name, stands for Tyrannosaurus rex. In fact, a low-res Baby T model was used as a placeholder while the dragons were being programmed into the game.

Dungeons & Dragons averts this. Dinosaurs are nothing more than animals, whereas most dragons are even smarter than humans on average (and would probably be very insulted by a comparison between them and dinos), though they're cool enough that they aren't listed in one appendix in the Monster Manual, where animals normally are, but instead under their own heading. Which makes D officially (and suitably) the most feared section of all creature books for D, what with dragons, demons, devils, dinosaurs, and Dire Beasts.
Some of the dragon-related source books take an interesting approach to this issue by suggesting that dragons may be evolutionary descendants of dinosaurs, sixty-millions-years on. (This might be more plausible if Young Earth Creationists weren't absolutely right in most D&D worlds.)
In the 4th Edition D&D books, herbivorous dinosaurs were renamed "behemoths", in an effort to avoid anachronisms. In the 4th edition Monster Manual, we have a "Bloodspike Behemoth" (a Stegosaurus), and a "Macetail Behemoth" (an Ankylosaurus). But the carnivorous dinos are now called "drakes". This might have been falling in line with the Eberron Campaign Setting's dinosaur conventions. In Eberron dinosaurs don't use the Latin names we use, instead they're given rather descriptive names like "fleshraker" and "swordtooth titan."
Word of God has it that this was the case with the first miniature figure of a dragon ever used in a role-playing game: it was a plastic toy Stegosaurus that E. Gary Gygax heavily modified, adding wings, horns, and a dramatic paint job. That's why early depictions of red dragons◊ have stegosaur-style dorsal plates along their spines.

The Dragon Tales book release Dinosaurs and Dragons takes this and plays it for all that it's worth. Max gets a dinosaur book and takes it to Dragon Land to show Ord, saying that he wishes he could find a dinosaur, but there aren't any back home. Then, while searching for Ord's ball, he and Ord find an egg and Max wonders if it could be a dinosaur egg, though Ord says it looks like a dragon egg to him. Then, the egg hatches and Max says that the creature that emerged from it is a dinosaur, saying that the bumps on its back look just like the ones on the Stegosaurus in his book. He then sees that Ord has ones just like that and realizes that Ord also looks kind of like a Stegosaurus. They find other similar features and Max begins to wonder if there's a way to test whether or not it's really a dinosaur. He thinks that if it's a dragon, it should be able to breathe fire, but when it only burps bubbles, Ord points out that he couldn't breathe fire when he was a baby either. Finally, the creature's mother shows it up. It is indeed, a dragon, and as she gives her son a hug, Max sees the wings on the baby's back and realizes that this is how you can tell a dragon from a dinosaur. When the mother mentions that she doesn't yet have a name for a baby, Max suggests naming him "Rex" after the Tyrannosaurus rex in his book, and the mother agrees. Max giggles "So he is a little bit of a dinosaur after all."

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has King Dodongo, an "Infernal Dinosaur" who lives inside a volcano and breathes fire. By The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, the dodongos — though still volcano-dwelling firebreathers — are redesigned to be more lizardlike. In Hyrule Warriors, King Dodongo is seen in the teaser incarnation, complete with a Rolling Attack. A rock remix of Ocarina of Time's "Dinosaur Boss Battle" plays either when you fight King Dodongo or when you're fighting against a boss enemy that happens to be a dragon (Volga included).

Fantasia may have a lot to do with the volcano subtrope. "Rite of Spring" begins with a seemingly endless field of lava-spewing volcanoes. A short and easily missed transition shows the progress of life on Earth and then suddenly cuts to an extended scene set during (allegedly) the late Cretaceous. Given that this is one of the most influential dinosaur film moments ever, perhaps many people missed the transition...

Tales of Symphonia has a science academy which contains the assembled skeleton of a dragon on display. A nearby scholar indicates that it was a prehistoric creature that lived long ago. Nevertheless, many varieties of real, living dragons exist in the game, including both winged and non-winged varieties, some of which have even been domesticated for human use. Unfortunately for the scientists, they mostly live in places that they are unlikely to ever see.

Dragons: A Fantasy Made Real, a Discovery Channel Mockumentary, shows "genuine" dragons as a species of prehistoric creature that survived into modern times, and which possessed a variety of fire-breathing that had a plausible biological explanation. It doesn't say anything about them actually being dinosaurs, but their overall physiological structure is consistent with that of a dinosaur.
Also averted, as the other species of dragon shown were more closely related to crocodiles than dinosaurs, being semi-aquatic and possessing a crocodile's false palate (a valve in the back of the throat), which keeps both water and fire from entering the dragons' lungs.
Though not technically dinosaurs, this trope was invoked, perhaps unintentionally, with the rather draconic-looking pterosaurs in the prehistoric dragon segment. Also, the Cretaceous period is depicted as an ash-choked wasteland with a sparse covering of forests and mountains.

Super Mario Bros.:
Yoshi is referred to as a dragon and a dinosaur interchangeably in early Nintendo publications (in Super Mario World, the coins with Yoshi's head on them are called "Dragon Coins", and in the Japanese version, he signs his name as "Super Dragon Yoshi"), although Nintendo seems to have mastered the distinction now. He can't breathe fire or fly on his own, but occasional power-ups can give him those abilities. Yoshi's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl puts him firmly in dragon territory — he grows wings, becomes invincible, and flies around the screen breathing fire. It's even called the "Super Dragon".
Super Mario World, besides introducing Yoshi to the series, has it so that when Mario or Luigi stomps on a Dino-Rhino on Chocolate Island, it shrinks and becomes a Dino-Torch, which breathes fire upward. There is also the boss enemy Reznor, four fireball-spitting Triceratops spinning on a waterwheel.
Everything on Dinosaur Land (the setting of World) is closer to a dragon than to a dinosaur. The Rex enemy doesn't look at all like a T. rex, but rather like a bipedal purple dragon.
Bowser looks like a dinosaur... turtle... thing, but he also breathes fire and holds the princess hostage in a castle.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World:
Season 2, episode 4 features a dinosaur that can breathe fire. Perhaps justified because the series takes place in a Lost World, not in prehistoric times, and it's established that life exists that is descended from prehistoric creatures but didn't exist in prehistoric times (such as lizard men).
In a different episode, a medieval city calls on the heroes to slay a dragon, but they find that it is just a T. rex, though they realize the medieval citizens would not know that.

Final Fantasy VI had an infamous translation error where the Japanese word for "dinosaur" (kyoryu) was translated as "frightful dragon" — in a part of the game where the player's goal was to find dragons, causing much confusion.
The sprites for the Brachiosaur and the Tyrannosaur were used (with similar colors even) for two actual dragons: Tyrannosaur? Earth Dragon. Brachiosaur? Gold Dragon.
The Ice Dragon has the same sprite as the Vectaur, a small, vaguely dinosaur-like enemy that can be encountered in Kefka's tower.

Invoked in The Lost World (2001). When trying to convince others that he did indeed see Living Dinosaurs on the eponymous South American plateau, Prof. Challenger points to a previous Portuguese missionary expedition to that same region, whose sole survivor was "raving about dragons" on his return to civilization. The implication is that, since this expedition occurred before dinosaurs had been properly described, the missionary was simply reaching for the best word he knew to describe what he saw.

In Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger / Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, the Five-Man Band got mecha that were either dinosaurs or prehistoric animals we're fairly certain existed. The Sixth Ranger? Giant mechanical dragon. This goes further in Zyuranger, because these particular heroes are actually warriors who existed at the time of the dinosaurs and who were revived in the modern age, and their "designations" (i.e. their Ranger names and their mecha) are actually dinosaur gods that watch over and protect them.

Gumby: Extremely evident, as Prickle claims to be a dragon in some episodes (and breathe fire), and insists he's a dinosaur in others. The inconsistency is so pronounced that there's a whole episode devoted to him proving he's a dinosaur so he can get into an ice cream parlor that doesn't allow dragons (because they melt the ice cream). Art Clokey's explanation was that he couldn't decide whether to make Prickle a dinosaur or a dragon, so he made him sometimes one and sometimes the other.

In One Piece, the Wano Country Arc ultimately reveals that the Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit eaten by X Drakenote the X is pronounced Diez which allows him to turn into a Dinosaur is the Ryu Ryu no Mii, Model: Allosaurus (Dragon Dragon fruit, Model: Allosaurus). Apparently, the Ancient Dragon models allows you to turn into dinosaurs, as several top commanders of the Beast Pirates also have Dragon Fruit Models, such as King who can turn into a Pteranodon, Queen who turns into a Brachiosaur, and Page One who turns into a Spinosaurus. This is a reference to the fact that in Japanese the word for Dinosaur, Kyoryu (æ��ç«œ), contains the character, Ryu (ç«œ), which means dragon. Ironically, this is not the case with the actual eastern dragon fruit eaten by Kaido, which is a Mythical Zoan Fruit, the Uo Uo no Mii, Model: Seiryu (Fish Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon). The name being Fish instead of Dragon is most likely a reference to the famous legend of the Koi fish that swam up a waterfall and transformed into a dragon when it reached the top and passed through the Dragon Gate. This is especially true when you remember that the main method of entering the island of Wano itself is by using giant koi to travel up a massive waterfall.

Pokémon:
The Dragon-type Haxorus line is based on dinosaurs, according to Word of God. More specifically, it was mainly based on herbivorous dinosaurs (from appearances, that includes ceratopsians and possibly some pachycephalosaurids), and lo and behold, it's stated to be a herbivore itself.
In the first game, the Dragon type consisted exclusively of the Dratini-Dragonair-Dragonite line. Dragon-type trainer Lance's team thus needed some additions — including Aerodactyl, which is based on a pterosaur, but looks like a wyvern.
It is possible to teach Dragon-type moves to most of the non-Dragon-type Pokémon based on bipedal dinosaurs, such as Tyranitar, Groudon, Rampardos and Archeops, as well as the aforementioned Aerodactyl. Also, almost all reptilian Pokémon are in the Dragon egg group.
Iris's gym team in Pokémon Black and White was all Dragon-Types. Come the sequels, she still mainly uses dragons, but has a few dinosaur-like Pokémon thrown in too, much like Lance.
Pokémon X and Y gives us Tyrunt (as well as its fully-evolved form of Tyrantrum), one of the game's fossil Pokemon, which is a Dragon-type T. rex.
Pokémon Sun and Moon introduces Jangmo-o and its evolutions, Hakamo-o and Kommo-o, more Dragon-type Pokémon that are based on dinosaurs—in the case of the evolved forms, they're clearly theropods like the aforementioned Tyrunt and Tyrantrum.
Pokémon Sword and Shield has a fossil called Fossilized Drake which appears to be a back half of a stegosaurus-like creature. Combining it with Fossilized Bird or Fossilized Fish gives you Dracozolt and Dracovish respectively, who are part Dragon-type.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet has the Paradox Pokémon Roaring Moon, Koraidon, Walking Wake, Gouging Fire and Raging Bolt who are all part Dragon-type, and all have either saurian postures or protofeathers in line with more modern dinosaur depictions. Of these, Roaring Moon actually inverts this trope as it's a full-on Western dragon that fills the ecological niche of a predatory dinosaur, while the other four are based directly on various dinosaurs (a vaguely T. Rexpy amalgamation, a Coelophysis, a Styracosaurus and a Brachiosaurus respectively).

Mother 3: The Dragos are simply regular dinosaurs. The one Drago that falls victim to the Pig Army's chimerization plot gains the ability to breathe fire. (Though from the looks of its sprite, it appears that they just shoved a flamethrower down its throat.)

Godzilla is either a dragon or a dinosaur depending on which fan you ask. Indeed, the fantastic nature of most Kaiju sways from one extreme to the other depending on the movie. The original film says that he's a sea-dwelling dinosaur (not too different from his current self) who was resurrected and mutated by the miracle of atomic mutation and he just happened to fit into the local dragon mythology, which is full of Virgin Sacrifice. His origin is given much more clearly in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah which reveals he really is a mutated dinosaur that became a legendary figure. The confusion among English-speaking fans, at least, is probably due to the American dub of Godzilla Raids Again. In it, an educational film reel explained that dinosaurs, including Godzilla (there called Gigantis) and Anguirus, were created from pools of burning lava and sulfur, resulting in their being walking fire elementals of sorts.

Fate/Grand Order:
Kijyo K�y� is a Youkai who can take the form of a dinosaur that resembles a T. Rex. She breathes fire and is considered a dragon by skills and attacks that benefit or harm dragons. When asked about why she takes the form of a dinosaur, she recalls being impressed by a skeleton of a dragon god of the mountains, which might have been a dinosaur fossil.
The paleontologist Mary Anning claims her Plesiosaurus is a dragon, and is attracted to Altria for being part-dragon, claiming she fits into her line of work.

Demon Knights: Played with. The characters call the big lizardy creatures dragons, because it's the Dark Ages, but to the audience they're clearly dinosaurs with no draconic characteristics at all. Also worth noting that they make a distinction between "true dragons" (dinosaurs) and "heraldic dragons" (the fire-breathing flying ones, presumably. The only "heraldic dragons" we see are mechanical).

Close variant: As referenced above in The Crocodile God, precolonial Filipino folklore views crocodiles as dragons... of the sea-serpent variety, being an Asian country instead of European. Seeing as the Philippines is home to saltwater crocodiles who are notoriously aggressive and often prey on humans, one can see why "giant man-eating reptile" led to "dragon" for the ancient tribes.

Beast Wars Fan Series: You really can't blame the people in the Civil War times in calling Grimlock a "dragon", as very few people back then knew what a dinosaur was, and the T. rex wouldn't be discovered and described for at least another forty years. As for Sir William, he thinks that Grimlock and Dinobot are dragons because he's from the Middle Ages and dragons were all over the place back then.

The Dinobots' trademark attack is fire breath; Slag (the Triceratops) actually has "Flamethrower" as his official assigned function. (Well, at least they're robots.) The ones in Transformers: Animated also breathe fire and are made from animatronic dinosaurs, but they aren't supposed to have it; it's something Megatron, who was working with an unwitting Sumdac, added so they would have weapons.

Final Fantasy:
Final Fantasy VI had an infamous translation error where the Japanese word for "dinosaur" (kyoryu) was translated as "frightful dragon" — in a part of the game where the player's goal was to find dragons, causing much confusion.
The sprites for the Brachiosaur and the Tyrannosaur were used (with similar colors even) for two actual dragons: Tyrannosaur? Earth Dragon. Brachiosaur? Gold Dragon.
The Ice Dragon has the same sprite as the Vectaur, a small, vaguely dinosaur-like enemy that can be encountered in Kefka's tower.
Final Fantasy XI: The Raptor enemies look more like medieval dragons than anything else, complete with vestigial membranous wings instead of arms.
Final Fantasy XII somewhat rationalizes this by defining the dragon genus as an overarching term for most large reptiles, so including the more traditional wyrms and wyverns and the more historical theropods in the same evolutionary chain.
Final Fantasy XIV: In Eorzea, dinosaurs evolved from dragons. As a result, dinosaurs are extremely prominent in the draconic homeland of Dravania.

Fossil Fighters explicitly explains that the revived animals (which include more than just dinosaurs) gained superpowers as a side-effect of the cloning process, which is why that T. rex is breathing fire and that Dilophosaurus is shooting out gallons of water. The devs also admitted in an interview that they did this due to the Rule of Fun: "If we were to make it realistic, the only things the dinosaurs could do is either bite or stomp. That's why we gave each dinosaur attributes like fire or water, because we thought it would be fun to play if they breathed fire and stuff."

Beast Wars: Megatron starts as a Tyrannosaurus, but thanks to the original Megatron's spark and a lava dunking gains a huge dragon form near the end of the series. The fact that he's a robot makes it a little easier to take, but considering they created their beast modes using scanned DNA, the dragon really comes out of nowhere, unless the G1 animated continuity episode: "A Decepticon Raider In King Aurthur's Court" is canon, then dragons really did exist in cartoon G1 Earth. Megatron's concept art had this and then some. Apparently the next stage in a mythological creatures upgrade involved giving him a second head. This design was later recycled into Robots in Disguise Megatron, who turned into a two-headed dragon. In a series where every animal was based on real-life DNA, this was a serious Bizarro Episode.

Pokémon Sun and Moon introduces Jangmo-o and its evolutions, Hakamo-o and Kommo-o, more Dragon-type Pokémon that are based on dinosaurs—in the case of the evolved forms, they're clearly theropods like the aforementioned Tyrunt and Tyrantrum.

The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob!: The fan-winged dragons evolved from Kuehneosaurus (a real-life lizard that lived in the Triassic and which had "wings" formed from overlong ribs which extended out from its body; it is believed to have used these to parachute from trees). The dragons destroyed their civilization in a war — wiping out the dinosaurs in the process — after which they became peaceful, pastoral creatures. Millions of years later, when human knights and hunters began "slaying" them, they revived their old technology and left Earth for the planet Butane in the Kuiper Belt.

The Stone Dance of the Chameleon: This trope comes into play in-universe. The world in which these books are set has all sorts of prehistoric flora and fauna around, including many kinds of dinosaurs. Among these dinosaurs are the huimur, a kind of ceratopsid that is usually used as pack animal. Giant versions of these animals are outfitted with towers similar to those on war elephants and flame pipes, and these are generally called dragons. Even so, the protagonist's father forbids him from using that word because he feels it to be barbarous.

The Bridge: Averted and subverted. While Odo Island's folk regarded the Godzillasaur species as a legendary sea dragon in their folktales, Gojira, they are still seemingly mundane dinosaurs prior to any mutation. Dragons really did exist on Terra but they were essentially fae-folk equivalents of crocodilians, lizards, and snakes which were altered by the presence of mana. Equestrian dragons are also identified as something different than a dinosaur, enough Godzilla was not mistaken for a drake when he appeared.
Godzilla: New Era, The prequel rewrite of Godzilla 2000, muddies the waters some. Godzilla Junior is thought to be an entirely mundane, if horrifically miraculous radiation mutation of a normal dinosaur by scientists. But a Shinto miko from Odo island believes the current Godzilla might possibly an incarnation of Seiryū, and multiple details hint she's right.

The literal translation of Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger is "Knight Dragon Squadron Dragon Soul Ranger" ("ryu" means "dragon" in Japanese) and their Humongous Mecha are dinosaurs instead of dragons. However, this probably is related to the fact that, as explained in the Real Life section below, the Japanese word for "dinosaur" incorporates "ryu" to begin with (it's "kyoryu"; meaning "fearsome dragon").

Primeval has a time-displaced Dracorex getting caught in the Middle Ages before making another jump to 2009. Most of the plot of the episode revolves around convincing an equally-lost medieval knight that it's not a dragon and that he doesn't need to kill it. The existence of animals travelling through the time anomalies is heavily implied to be the origin of mythical creatures, and the Monster of the Week is many times deliberately designed to resemble those myths it "inspired". In this case, Dracorex is given a pair of "unfossilizable" dorsal membranes that look superficially like bat wings.

Yu-Gi-Oh! has many instances (and some subversions) of this trope.
An early example is "Crawling Dragon #2," which is a Dinosaur-Type monster despite its lore describing it as a dragon. A near-identical card, Two-Headed King Rex, is also Dinosaur-type but more closely resembles a two-headed flying dragon than a Tyrannosaurus rex.
"Jurrac" is a dedicated Dinosaur archetype that reeks of this trope, with most of its monsters breathing or otherwise manipulating fire in some way. It mostly works, by virtue of adding in some meteor/volcano symbolism.
"Evol" monsters exploit this, with three tiers of monsters: weak Evoltiles, which are Reptile-types, are used to bring out stronger Evolsaurs, which are Dinosaurs, and they themselves are used to bring out Evolzars, which are Dragons. Essentially, as they evolve, they "advance" from ordinary reptile to dinosaur to dragon.
"Dogoran, the Mad Flame Kaiju." A Dinosaur-Type monster has never looked so much like a dragon — unsurprising, given that it's a Not Zilla.
Due to a misprint, "Two-Mouth Darkruler" was originally classified as a Dragon-Type, but is now a Dinosaur-Type. Hilariously, it has a counterpart called "Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon" (which, aside from a palette swap, looks exactly the same), which is made by fusing two "Thunder Dragon." To further complicate it, "Thunder Dragon" and "Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon" are Thunder-Type monsters, and as such are neither Dinosaurs nor Dragons.

Mésozoïque Alternatif: In this short, several dinosaurs, particularly Rex, survive past the end of the prehistoric age and into human history. In the Middle Ages, the dinosaurs are shown sleeping on (or in Rex's case, in) a massive pile of treasure, just like a dragon would... only for a group of knights to barge in with the intent of stealing said treasure. The other dinosaurs realize in horror that this is (almost) literally Bullying a Dragon, and sure enough, the knights' loud trumpet-playing, treasure theft, and fruitless attempts to slay Rex with a (relatively) tiny sword eventually lead to him losing his temper.

Angels with Scaly Wings is a perfect example of this trope, but also entirely justified. Many of the dragons resemble dinosaurs to some capacity because they're all descended from bioengineered creatures made to resemble dragons using prehistoric reptiles as the basis. They were originally intended as BioWeapon Beasts, but one of their creators realized they were sapient and killed her co-workers in order to set them free.

Transformers:
The Dinobots' trademark attack is fire breath; Slag (the Triceratops) actually has "Flamethrower" as his official assigned function. (Well, at least they're robots.) The ones in Transformers: Animated also breathe fire and are made from animatronic dinosaurs, but they aren't supposed to have it; it's something Megatron, who was working with an unwitting Sumdac, added so they would have weapons.
Transformers Victory: Deathsaurus's alt mode is somewhere between a dragon and a giant chicken.
Beast Wars: Megatron starts as a Tyrannosaurus, but thanks to the original Megatron's spark and a lava dunking gains a huge dragon form near the end of the series. The fact that he's a robot makes it a little easier to take, but considering they created their beast modes using scanned DNA, the dragon really comes out of nowhere, unless the G1 animated continuity episode: "A Decepticon Raider In King Aurthur's Court" is canon, then dragons really did exist in cartoon G1 Earth. Megatron's concept art had this and then some. Apparently the next stage in a mythological creatures upgrade involved giving him a second head. This design was later recycled into Robots in Disguise Megatron, who turned into a two-headed dragon. In a series where every animal was based on real-life DNA, this was a serious Bizarro Episode.
Transformers: Prime: Played with. The Decepticons use Fossil Revival (from "cybernucleic acid") to revive Predacons, ancient Cybertronians who were wiped out in a cataclysm. Jack makes the T. rex comparison, but the first one created is a fire-breathing dragon. Turns out the first Predacon clones had a long vigil on Earth, inspiring a lot of human folklore.
