Sometimes a work has a different name during production that ends up being different from the one it has once it's finally released. Sometimes, though, a work's title changes after it's been released.
This is often to coincide with a re-release, but it can happen at any time and for a variety of reasons. Sometimes the title ended up conflicting with a previously existing work, sometimes the title ended up being too generic and not friendly to search engines, other times the new title is more indicative of what the work became, and other times still the creator simply didn't like the original name and opted to change it as soon as they could think of something better.

Sub-tropes include:
Censored Title: When a title has to be changed because it's considered "inappropriate" for its target audience.
Market-Based Title: When a work's title is changed to make it more appealing to foreign audiences.
Completely Different Title: When said localized title has absolutely nothing to do with the original.
The Foreign Subtitle: When the work's title remains the same in foreign markets but is given a new subtitle.
New Season, New Name: When an ongoing work changes its name to represent its current arc.
Officially Shortened Title: When an ongoing work later cuts down a previously elaborate title.
Retronym: When a work's title is retroactively changed because it shares its name with something else.
Franchise-Driven Retitling: When a work is retroactively given a subtitle to bring it in line with later installments.
The Original Series: When the original work in a franchise gets a subtitle identifying it as the original work.
Title 1: The first installment of a franchise may retroactively receive a number if its sequels are numbered.
Sister Trope to Working Title: when a work has a different title during production, either because a title has not been finalized, or to help prevent leaks.
If your example fits one of the sub-tropes, please place it on the appropriate page and not here.

The Confines of the Crown was originally titled The Royal Trap as a double meaning of the trap of royal politics and the Gilded Cage that royals live in. An unintended meaning arose from the princess having been Raised as the Opposite Gender, and the title was changed to avoid that unfortunate meaning.

The Great Mouse Detective saw its title expanded for the 1992 theatrical re-release, to The Adventures of The Great Mouse Detective. Home video releases from the 1992 VHS and Laserdisc, to the 2002 VHS and DVD, used the shorter name on the packaging, and the longer one in the opening credits. The remaster struck for prints from the 2010 DVD onwards reverted the title to the shorter version, by swapping the '92 credits back with the ones used at the 1986 premiere.

Robotman and Monty began as simply Robotman and was about the title character who, in part, sought to find his creator. Once said creator, Monty, was found, he became a regular and his name was added to the title. Over time, Monty displaced Robotman as the real star of the strip, leading to Robotman being written out permanently, and the strip becoming just Monty.

Looney Tunes:
To comply with TV censorship guidelines during the 1970s, the shorts Curtain Razor and Prince Violent were renamed Show Stoppers and Prince Varmint, respectively, once they hit airwaves. What's odd is that Curtain Razor has its normal title back while Prince Violent doesn't.
Wabbit: A Looney Tunes Production was renamed New Looney Tunes starting from season 2, to embrace how the series stopped having Bugs Bunny as the only main character. In some countries, the new title was retroactively given to season 1 in reruns.

Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion was originally called Spooky's House of Jump Scares but were forced to change it when German mobile game developer Spooky House Studios wanted to trademark "Spooky House" and sent them a cease-and-desist order. They were so unamused by it that they changed the logo by just covering parts of the titles in tape and writing the new name in them.

Chris Cornell's Euphoria Morning was later reissued as Euphoria Mourning — the latter was his originally intended title, but he was convinced to alter it because "mourning" and "morning" are homonyms, and listeners who heard the album title mentioned on the radio would be more likely to assume it was "morning". He'd come to regret this decision, so when the idea of a reissue came up, he belatedly had the title changed.

The Melvins' 1992 album Lysol had this happen twice. The initial release was recalled at the last minute due to trademark infringement involving the cleaning product. Early pressings simply taped or inked over the name, which was easily removed; later pressings removed the name entirely, effectively rendering it a Self-Titled Album. When the album was reissued on LP in 2015 alongside the EP Eggnog, it was changed again to the similar-sounding Lice-All.

The Birds of Prey movie was originally titled Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn to cash in on the popularity of Margot Robbie's portrayal of Harley. When the movie fizzled at the box office, critics pointed out that it was more of an ensemble film than focusing purely on Harley, and for home release, it was retitled Birds of Prey or Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean: Beginning in 1999, this part had the least drastic change, as it was originally called Jolyne Cujoh: Stone Ocean, and the final title just removed the protagonist's name from the subtitle.

After the smash critical and commercial success of the 1991 film adaptation of The Silence of the Lambs, the 1986 film adaptation of Red Dragon, initially released in theaters as Manhunter, was brought to cable under the title Red Dragon: The Pursuit of Hannibal Lecter. This is in spite of the fact that "Lecktor" is already behind bars by the time the film begins and has only 8 minutes of screentime (in a two-hour film) across just three scenes; the actual killer being hunted is Francis "The Tooth Fairy" Dolarhyde, who fulfills a similar role as Jame "Buffalo Bill" Gumb in Lambs.

The Great Santini failed to attract audiences on initial release. Warner Bros. executives thought the title was to blame, as it suggested a circus story rather than the film's actual subject (a drama about a military family). They renamed it The Ace (after that title tested the best among other possibles, Sons and Heroes and Reaching Out) but it didn't perform any better. The producer, Charles Pratt, raised enough money to rerelease the film in New York City under the original title, and that title seems to have stuck now.

The web series Stargate Origins was retitled Stargate Origins: Catherine when it was re-released as a Compilation Movie for purchase. It was expected that this meant there would be more "Origins" installments in the future, but the lackluster reception to the original meant that they never came to pass.

Both World of Tanks and World of Warships combine this with Market-Based Title. In 2022 Wargaming withdrew from CIS (post-Soviet Union states) market, and gave Lesta Studio (Russian co-developer of World of Warships) the right to operate its games in said market. Both games were named in English even in their native Belarus and Russia, but Lesta translated them into Russian Mir Tankov and Mir Korabley (the latter meaning just World of Ships).

Edge of Tomorrow had a lackluster performance in the box office, so Warner Bros. attempted to rebrand it for the home video release by emphasizing the movie's Tag Line over the actual title. Live. Die. Repeat. was plastered across the Blu-Ray cover in massive letters, while Edge of Tomorrow was shrunken and exiled to the bottom corner. Several digital retailers listed the film as Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a unique case, as many of its eight parts had different names on their publication, and changed in later releases:
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood: Published in 1986 under the name, Jonathan Joestar: His Youth.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency: On 1987, under the title Joseph Joestar: His Proud Lineage.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders: Originally titled as Jotaro Kujo: Heritage for the Future on 1989. This title wound up referenced in the Capcom game.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable: Published in 1992 as just Josuke Higashikata.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind: This part went through two: It began publication in 1995 as Giorno Giovanna: Golden Heritage, and was later renamed as Vento Aureo. When the 2019 anime came, the title ended up changed as Golden Wind, translating the Italian title to English.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean: Beginning in 1999, this part had the least drastic change, as it was originally called Jolyne Cujoh: Stone Ocean, and the final title just removed the protagonist's name from the subtitle. This was the last part with a name change, as Steel Ball Run and JoJolion launched with their final titles.

Kyuss' "Flip the Phase" originally appeared as a B-side on their "One Inch Man" single in 1995. It was inexplicably renamed "Fatso Forgotso Phase II" (albeit with the original title next to it in smaller print and flipped vertically) when it appeared on the Kyuss/Queens of the Stone Age split EP in late 1997, before reverting to its original title on the Muchas Gracias compilation in 2000.

In 1990, The Black Cauldron was theatrically re-released as Taran and the Magic Cauldron to try to get more ticket sales and hide the Darker and Edgier elements of the film that led to it bombing during its initial release. It didn't work, and when the film made its home video debut in 1998 (1997 outside America), the original title was reinstated.

The Dragon Quest series was originally called Dragon Warrior in the US due to a competing trademark from a tabletop game. Once the legal issues were eventually cleared up, the series adopted its Japanese title worldwide and all remakes and rereleases are now under the Quest branding (with each main-series game other than the first gaining an additional subtitle on top of that).

For its first eight seasons, Happy Heroes went by the Chinese title 开心�� (pinyin "Kaixin Baobei", English translation "Happy Babies"). Starting from Season 9, it switched to being called 开心超人�盟 (pinyin "Kaixin Chaoren Lianmeng", English translation "Happy Superman Alliance"). The seasons prior to Season 9 retained their old name, though, and official English translations - for the most part - have stuck to the name Happy Friends for all the seasons.
