Your shield can always protect you, if you so choose. However, it can be useful for more than just defending. Shields are relatively large, heavy, and hard to counter because you are attacking and defending at the same time. So why not go on and hit your opponent with it?
As shields are perceived as less suitable for straight attacking than traditional weapons, they do less damage but have a decent chance to cause effects like Knock Back or stunning. Using shields that way is a staple characteristic of shield-wielding type of Stone Wall. Also, shields can have spikes on them (often a single one in the center).
Note that in real life this was actually a fairly practical technique before the proliferation of gunpowder weapons made them unfeasibly heavy and expensive, and is still practical in scenarios that don't involve being shot at. A shield is large, sturdy, and oftentimes heavy, and by its very nature, bashing with it leaves one less open for counter attack than plenty of other techniques. Many historical shields were even designed with some sort of metal protrusion for exactly this purpose. It's still not as damaging as stabbing someone with a sword, but it is harder to block, unpredictable, and doesn't mean that one can't bash a target with a shield and then stab before the target can recover. Particularly dangerous are a number of fellows forming a wall of shields and charging forward like a mobile wall, especially while carrying something sharp in their other hand, ready to thrust through the gaps between the shields.
If reality is really out for lunch and your battles aren't supposed to be realistic, the shield can be thrown like a boomerang.
If a force field or Deflector Shield is used like this, then it's a variation of Deadly Force Field.

In Twilight Princess, Link can learn it as one of the Hidden Skill techniques, and involves slamming your shield into an opponent, stunning them. It can later be used in combination with another devastating move, the Helm Splitter, that allows you to jump up over your opponent and cleave their skull in half.

Genshin Impact:
Shieldwall Mitachurls primarily attack by charging into you with their shields, but will also bludgeon you with them if you come into melee range. If their shields are destroyed, their attacks don't really change, they just start attacking with their heads and fists instead.
Candace's Elemental Skill allows her to smash enemies with her shield, dealing hydro damage to them.

Warriors, Guardians and Engineers in Guild Wars 2 are used for protective purposes, but each one also has some form of attack that either physically attacks opponents, or generates magic to bump them back. With the Heart of Thorns expansion, the Mesmer's Chronomancer specialization can also use a shield to do damage. Only the Revenant's Herald specialization uses shields purely for defense.

Bound by Blades has the third hero of The Bound, Kota, a bovine brawler who Dual Wield shields. The smaller, round buckler shield have spikes protruding from it's sides, while the larger pavise shield functions more like a conventional defense item. Kota can use both to smash his enemies, with the former expectedly dealing more damage.

In the Dragon Age series:
Dragon Age: Origins: The warrior's "tank" skill branch has one skill involving a weapon. Others are passive skills, defensive stances or this. It's one of the few attacks that can break an Ogre's grab attack.
Dragon Age II: An ability for Aveline, and Sword-and-Shield wielding Player Characters, as well as a standard attack when they need to close the distance with a target (if not in a defensive stance at the time). The ability has an Area of Effect, and can be upgraded to give the "exposed" status to enemies, readying them for a devastating Combination Attack from Magi or Rouges.
The Genlock Alphas in the Dragon Age II DLC "Legacy" carry huge shields that render them all but immune to frontal assault and attack by charging you like a battering ram.
In Dragon Age: Inquisition, this is again an ability for any character that uses a sword and shield. In combat, it can knock armor off enemies. Outside combat, warriors can use it to demolish obstacles. Cassandra and Blackwall will likely have this ability due to using shields by default.

Dark Souls III makes the bash even better by letting you hit with the shield without lowering your guard—you can even wield it in the right hand to getting a ramming Dash Attack. The results in player-versus-player are rather astounding. The Ashes of Ariandel DLC takes this trope even further with the Valorheart, a paired set of a gladius and a shield. It incorporates shield bashing into its moveset, such as the spinning bash in the standard attack, and the weapon skill "Lion's Roar", which knocks down enemies by a strong bash with a lion's roar. The Ringed City DLC also brings back the paired greatshields designed for Dual Wielding.

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare allows players to perform a stunning shield bash when their shields are equipped (otherwise, they kick). Shield bashing (or kicking) allows a player to stun an enemy out of a block and leave them vulnerable for a second. Flails and Javelins require the player to use the small Buckler shield, which can used in a blunt overhead attack, which does not stun but strikes very quickly and is hard to predict.

Grim Dawn: While the Soldier's Force Wave skill can be used with a shield, the Oathkeeper class is especially focused on bludgeoning their enemies to death with their heavy shield, and keeping it blessed the whole time for extra protection and extra pummeling; it's just proper for a Paladin-esque class in a Diablo-inspired game. More amusingly there's a Lethal Joke Item family in the form of the Totally Normal Shields, which are fairly powerful weapons rather than actual shields used like maces. As the description says, "Southpaws will understand."

In the Dark Souls trilogy, shields can be used as bashing weapons, either by two-handing standard shields, bashing with spiked shields or slamming with greatshields. Then there are the shields that are primarily intended for parrying; of all weapons, they tend to keep opponents stunned longer, leaving them open for a riposte.
In the first game, the damage isn't that spectacular, turning shield bashes into a form of Cherry Tapping, though if the shield impacts it knocks an opponent back, making it startlingly effective on ledges.
In the second game, shields do substantial damage, especially when upgraded or infused, making a shield-bashing build difficult but viable. There's even a pair of shields specifically designed for Dual Wielding together; the enemies that wield them, the Imperious Knights, tend to set up blocking corridors and doorways in the Undead Crypt, where they resemble nothing so much as bad-tempered walls that try to crush you as you try to get past.
Dark Souls III makes the bash even better by letting you hit with the shield without lowering your guard—you can even wield it in the right hand to getting a ramming Dash Attack. The results in player-versus-player are rather astounding. The Ashes of Ariandel DLC takes this trope even further with the Valorheart, a paired set of a gladius and a shield.

Diablo II has the Smite skill for the Paladin in which he bashes the enemy with the shield to stun them. There's even an independent damage value for shields meaning spikier and heavier shields will deal more damage. The biggest draw of this skill is that it's an Always Accurate Attack, one of the very few in the whole game.

In Etrian Odyssey, shields are normally used for their defensive stats and for defense-based skills, but some shield skills are attack skills that inflict bash-type damage. They are notable in Etrian Odyssey Nexus for using the shield's defense stat with a rather large multiplier to calculate damage, allowing the otherwise-Stone Wall Protector class to inflict massive damage with the correct build.

The Paladin job in Final Fantasy XIV has two variations of shield bashing; Shield Bash smacks enemies with the shield and stuns them. Shield Lob has the Paladin throw their shield at the enemy to attack from a distance and build up aggro from them. Both skills can't be used if a shield isn't equipped.

World of Warcraft Paladin's Shield of The Righteous (Avenger's Shield is another thing) and Warrior's Shield Slam and (former) Shield Bash abilities. The shield slam is a simple damaging attack, while the shield bash (when it existed in the game) interrupted spellcasting. In its last days, Shield Bash did no damage, despite working by smacking someone with a shield. Shield Slam on the other hand hits like a truck and can easily be the most damaging attack low-level warriors have.

For Honor: Warlord and Conqueror very like to do this. The former has the ability to push enemies an extremely long distance with guard breaks and shield charges. But Conqueror's bash seems to be more memetic because it is unblockable which leads to spam of this attack.

The shield bash is an incredibly useful move in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Even at the basic level, it can stagger an enemy, or interrupt a power attack and leave them vulnerable. Many of the perks within the Shield tree enhance it further, so it can actually deal reasonable damage, knock an enemy back, or cause them to drop their weapon. At the highest level it enables you to perform a Foe-Tossing Charge. There are even special shields that provide bonuses from a shield bash, from causing extra damage over time to 'literally' blowing an opponent away.

Warcraft:
Averted in Warcraft III: Footmen can switch to a defensive stance where they take reduced damage from piercing attacks, but move slower. The switching animation looks like this trope, however, so some custom maps give them the move.
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft has this as an Epic spell for the Warrior class. It deals 1 damage to a minion for every point of armor your hero has (10 damage for 10 armor, for example).

In the second game, shields do substantial damage, especially when upgraded or infused, making a shield-bashing build difficult but viable. There's even a pair of shields specifically designed for Dual Wielding together; the enemies that wield them, the Imperious Knights, tend to set up blocking corridors and doorways in the Undead Crypt, where they resemble nothing so much as bad-tempered walls that try to crush you as you try to get past.

Marvel Universe:
Captain America uses his shield as a melee weapon in addition to throwing it. It's also a staple of his video game incarnations (Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Marvel vs. Capcom, etc.).
Captain America's expies, U.S. Agent and his replacement during The Vietnam War obviously fit in as well.
The Taskmaster uses his shield in a similar fashion, which is not surprising insomuch as he learned the skill from Captain America. In Marvel vs. Capcom 3, he even shouts "Just like Cap!" when attacking with his shield.
Secret Wars (1984): During a raid on the villains' lair, Captain America confronts the Enchantress. She tries hitting Cap with zap bolts from her hands, but these all miss. "By Surtur's teeth, he moves like a cat!" she observes. When Cap gets within striking distance, Enchatress tries the old "You Wouldn't Hit a Girl" ploy, to which Cap responds with "With anyone else, Enchantress." Cap then knocks her out with his shield against her jaw.

The Spartans do this during the roughly thirty seconds of film time they spend actually fighting in a Phalanx like they claim to. They follow the bash up with a quick spear thrust before bashing again.
The more chaotic scenes also show several characters bashing with their shields, as well as swinging them edge-on as weapons.

Pathfinder takes this and runs with it. The feat, Shield Mastery, removes all penalties incurred by Shields when used as a weapon for the purposes of Two-Weapon Fighting. This lead to several players using two shields, thus suffering no penalties at all and proving the most-effective means of two-weapon fighting in the game, which appropriately seemed absolutely absurd... until it was pointed out by several players on Paizo's forums that not only was this tactic very real and very effective, it was actually employed by several different cultures and schools of martial arts.

Captain America's signature combat style, of course.
In Captain America: The First Avenger, he sends Hydra soldiers sailing ten feet into the air.
In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the directors took the opportunity to explore all the combat possibilities with an indestructible shield that is also a returning thrown weapon.
And they did it again in Captain America: Civil War. He notably nails Spider-Man in the face during their fight, a blow that would have certainly concussed an ordinary human. In the final fight, Cap delivers the coup de grâce to Iron Man by destroying his chest Arc reactor with his shield, disabling his powered armor.

The early Dungeons & Dragons boxed sets (which got amalgamated into the D&D Cyclopedia) actually made heavy use of the shield weapons - there was the horned shield, knife shield, sword shield and the tusk shield (this one was a massive shield with a pair of tusk-like blades that allowed a user to attack twice). As with other weapons, one can get weapon grandmastery in these.

The Dynasty Warriors franchise has several shield-toting characters, most of whom have this technique as part of their moveset somewhere.
In the main series, Xingcai wields a traditional sword and shield moveset. Several of her attacks have her whacking the enemy units with her shield. In the 9th main iteration, Lu Linqi joins her in doing this, with a sword and shield moveset of her own.
Muneshige Tachibana from Samurai Warriors does this in several of his attacks.
Link from Hyrule Warriors has a move where he charges forward with his shield, bulldozing any enemies in his way.
GM series mobile suits can ram enemies with their large shields in Dynasty Warriors: Gundam. A few other units also use their shields to attack.

Batman: Arkham City:
Riot shield mooks are among the most annoying enemies. They are immune to standard attacks (so accidentally punching one breaks a combo), their attacks can't be countered, and when you finally take one down, the shield remains for another mook to pick up, unless you use the Special Combo Disarm and Destroy technique which permanently prevents its use from mooks.
Robin's staff also folds out to make a bullet proof shield, which can also be used to ram into enemies.

The Legend of Zelda:
In Twilight Princess, Link can learn it as one of the Hidden Skill techniques, and involves slamming your shield into an opponent, stunning them. It can later be used in combination with another devastating move, the Helm Splitter, that allows you to jump up over your opponent and cleave their skull in half.
In Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild, and Tears of the Kingdom, Link has to shield bash just when an enemy attacks him, negating damage to his shield and opening up an opportunity for a sword combo. In Breath of the Wild, it can even reflect Guardian laser beams. Lynel shields, which have blades built into their rims, will also damage foes when parrying blows, as will any shield will a sharp implement fused onto it in Tears of the Kingdom.

In Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild, and Tears of the Kingdom, Link has to shield bash just when an enemy attacks him, negating damage to his shield and opening up an opportunity for a sword combo. In Breath of the Wild, it can even reflect Guardian laser beams. Lynel shields, which have blades built into their rims, will also damage foes when parrying blows, as will any shield will a sharp implement fused onto it in Tears of the Kingdom.

Vandal Hearts (2, at least) has shields as a weapon category. It does what it's supposed to do: attacks coming from the side of the shield has a significantly higher chance to be blocked. Of course, its attack power sucks. Two shields however, have spikes to increase damage. One of them gives you a movement handicap since it's too heavy, while the other is practically an Infinity Plus One Shield.

Xenoblade Chronicles 1: Reyn, the resident Mighty Glacier party member, specializes in a shield/lance hybrid weapon counter-intuitively called a gunlance, and can use it to stun toppled enemies with his Shield Bash art, notable for having the lowest cooldown of all moves capable of causing the effect and it also executes the fastest out of other Daze arts which is useful for the fact that most enemies don't stay toppled for long.

Deadliest Warrior: Used frequently: William Wallace's spiked Targe shield (in conjunction with the long-bladed Dirk dagger) was made for this purpose, and the (lone) Spartan Hoplite uses it against his Ninja opponent, and later on against the Samurai in the "Back For Blood" Special. Also, they measured it: getting a Shield Bash from a Spartan means the same amount of force as a car crash. Usually directed at the chest or neck. Ouch. In both fights, the Spartan's shield was noted as being a crucial factor in his victory; besides the aforementioned impact force from direct blows, the Ninja had no way to directly penetrate it, and the Samurai would've needed more blows from his kanabo than would've made a difference in the outcome.

The Elder Scrolls features Shield Bashing in a few different titles:
A bash is one of the combat moves added by the popular Deadly Reflex mod for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. You can do it with a weapon or bare-handed too, but using a shield is more effective.
The shield bash is an incredibly useful move in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Even at the basic level, it can stagger an enemy, or interrupt a power attack and leave them vulnerable. Many of the perks within the Shield tree enhance it further, so it can actually deal reasonable damage, knock an enemy back, or cause them to drop their weapon. At the highest level it enables you to perform a Foe-Tossing Charge. There are even special shields that provide bonuses from a shield bash, from causing extra damage over time to 'literally' blowing an opponent away.
While any weapon (including sword & board) can block and bash in The Elder Scrolls Online, the One-Handed Weapon and Shield skill tree has specific Shield Bash skills: Shield Charge, which is a charging bash that closes distance between you and your target; and Power Bash, a full force shield slam.

Fate/Grand Order: Mash Kyrielight, as a unique "Shielder"-class Servant, carries around a massive cross-shaped shield as her only armament. Naturally, when she has to attack, she does so by smashing things with said shield. This leads to some amusing lines in the Orleans chapter of the story, where the protagonists decide to practice Non-Lethal Warfare against innocents who attack them due to a misunderstanding, and Mash replies "Got it, I'll use the back of the blade." The other characters ask how exactly that phrase can be applied to a shield. Other Servants who use shields are also not above using it to bash enemies as part of their attack animations.

Final Fantasy:
In Dissidia Final Fantasy, one of Firion's HP attacks is called "Shield Bash", though it's actually not an example of this trope: it's a Beehive Barrier that, if it blocks an opponent's attack, triggers a counterattack (consisting of a flurry of thrown knives if the attacked blocked was physical, or a barrage of spells if magical). On the other hand, many of Warrior of Light's attacks play this straight, with the shield being thrown around and, apparently, controlled telekinetically to slam into enemies edge-first while charging or similar attacks. And then there's Shield of Light, his main HP attack, where he puts the shield in front of him, and it explodes in the opponent's face in a blast of holy magic. The prequel Dissidia 012: Duodecim gives him a new HP attack in 'Ultimate Shield', which, well, consists solely of a series of bludgeonings with his shield.
The Raptor class in Final Fantasy Tactics A2 can do this in the typical way, which can also inflict Disable. Hilariously, the weapon that teaches them this move is a two-handed sword. You can't actually use the move when wielding it, unless you took the time to learn Monkey Grip, to wield two-handed swords with one hand, leaving the other free for shields.
The Paladin job in Final Fantasy XIV has two variations of shield bashing; Shield Bash smacks enemies with the shield and stuns them. Shield Lob has the Paladin throw their shield at the enemy to attack from a distance and build up aggro from them. Both skills can't be used if a shield isn't equipped.
Final Fantasy XV has shields classed as weapons, useable by Noctis and Gladiolus. Noctis plays the trope the straightest by having his combos almost exclusively use the shield; Gladio primarily uses them for defending, but has a few moves to strike with the edge.

Tales of Maj'Eyal has the Shield Offense skill group, shared by the Bulwark, Wyrmic, Sun Paladin, and Demonologist classes. The basic shield bash skill stuns an enemy, while the capstone Assault skill uses a shield-bash to knock the enemy off-balance and follows up with two guaranteed Critical Hit attacks from the mainhand weapon. Sun Paladins and Demonologists also have access to the Guardian and Doom Shield skill groups, which combine shield-bashing with their respective magics. Lastly, the Dwarf-only Stone Warden class specializes in dual-wielding shields along with arcane magic and wild-gifts.

Warhammer 40,000: The suppression shield wielded by some Imperial warriors such as the Adeptus Arbites and, in some editions, the Crusaders of the Ecclesiarchy, incorporates an electro-shock generator designed to stun any enemy that is struck by, or strikes, the shield. How this is represented depends on the edition with 2nd Edition giving the wielder a Dash Attack, while 3rd Edition counts them as both an additional close combat weapon (similarly to a knife held in the model's off-hand) as well as giving them a special invulnerable save.

In Team Fortress 2, the Demoman can do this with the unlockable Chargin' Targe. Right clicking will send the Demoman into a high-speed charge, and attacking with a melee weapon at least halfway through the charge will result in a Critical Hit. The shield itself has a spike on it that will do damage if the Demoman himself collides with an enemy during the last quarter of the charge. Another shield, the Splendid Screen, trades most of the fire/explosive resistance for a more damaging Shield Bash and no minimum distance required to hit the enemy from to do it, and yet another one, the Tide Turner, is even better, allowing very sharp turning and recharging with a successful kill, allowing for rapid-fire rammings. Even if it is a ship's steering wheel rather than a shield.

In Bofuri: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense., the main character Maple uses her large shield to defeat enemies by... falling with the shield above these. She does have a short sword too, but she prefers to use her shield as her primary "weapon".

This happens from time to time in Asterix, usually with Roman scutum shields. Not because the Romans are doing this on purpose, but because one of the indomitable Gauls has seized the shield from a legionary and is now pursuing its previous owner while trying to hit them over the head with it.

Secret Wars (1984): During a raid on the villains' lair, Captain America confronts the Enchantress. She tries hitting Cap with zap bolts from her hands, but these all miss. "By Surtur's teeth, he moves like a cat!" she observes. When Cap gets within striking distance, Enchatress tries the old "You Wouldn't Hit a Girl" ploy, to which Cap responds with "With anyone else, Enchantress." Cap then knocks her out with his shield against her jaw.

Pantheon from League of Legends jumps to an enemy and bashes him with his shield, stunning him in the process. Singed holds his shield in right hand and autoattacks with it. Leona's "Shield of Daybreak" ability turns her next autoattack into a stunning shield attack. Taric, who usually uses his shield to send out a ranged Stun, bashes enemies with it in some autoattacks (when he's not using his hammer). And Braum, who explicitly says "My shield is my sword!", attacks turrets by swinging his massive shield in both hands like a battering ram.
There's a rune in the Resolve tree called Shield Bash that, when the user gains a shield, empowers the user's next attack against an enemy champion to deal additional damage based on the shield amount.

Spiral Knights gives us two variations: a "shield bump" done by simply bringing up the shield next to enemies that'll push them away, and a special Shield Bash ability that causes the user to charge forward with his shield and stun anything he comes in contact with.

The ability to attack with one's shield is part and parcel of the Shield Skill in GURPS. In addition to their primary purpose (allowing one to Block in addition to bestowing a general Defense Bonus that also aids Dodge and Parry along with Block), shields can be used to feint, bash *and* boost the damage in a slam. You can even add a spike for further damage or sharpen the rim of the shield for a surprisingly effective cutting attack. Finally, there are quite a few options - including the Shoves and Tackles Perk in addition to the Weapon Master Advantage (which *can* be applied to shields) - for those who want to properly represent a warrior that is scarily competent with a shield in an offensive capacity.

Goblin Slayer is fully adept at using his small shield as a deadly weapon against Goblins, especially when it's shown that he has the edges serrated to make certain they're just as lethal as his actual weapons. His very first kill in the main series involves him smashing a goblin into the wall with it before burning its face off with his torch.

In Dissidia Final Fantasy, one of Firion's HP attacks is called "Shield Bash", though it's actually not an example of this trope: it's a Beehive Barrier that, if it blocks an opponent's attack, triggers a counterattack (consisting of a flurry of thrown knives if the attacked blocked was physical, or a barrage of spells if magical). On the other hand, many of Warrior of Light's attacks play this straight, with the shield being thrown around and, apparently, controlled telekinetically to slam into enemies edge-first while charging or similar attacks. And then there's Shield of Light, his main HP attack, where he puts the shield in front of him, and it explodes in the opponent's face in a blast of holy magic. The prequel Dissidia 012: Duodecim gives him a new HP attack in 'Ultimate Shield', which, well, consists solely of a series of bludgeonings with his shield.

World Trigger:
The built-in Thruster allows Raygust, in either blade or shield mode, to propel itself and its wielder onto the opponent as an offensive dash. In Osamu’s training match with Kazama, Osamu uses Raygust's Thruster plus shield mode to thrust-and-pin Kazama to the wall, lock him up by reversing the shield into an outward cup form, and open a small hole in the shield to fire an unavoidable Asteroid shot at Kazama.
Hyuse’s debut as a Tamakoma-2 member presents his opponents with Border’s first ever offensive usage of Escudo, a defensive trigger that summons heavy barricades from any surface.
In his debut battle with Suzunari-1, Hyuse applies the Escudo to Murakami’s avatar to push Captain Kuruma away from Murakami’s protection range and let Osamu make a hit on Kuruma.
During the final match of the B-Rank Wars, Hyuse makes use of his simulation environment by summoning Escudo to launch a parked car at Obishima, sending her flying.

The Mountain and the Wolf:
The Wolf carries a massive runeshield that block magic, but he isn't averse to slamming it into enemies either.
Akkarulf wins a fight against a Dark Elf slaver by slamming his shield into her chin, then hooking her ankle as she stumbles backwards in order to trip her.
While Tyrion doesn't do it in the fic, that fact that it happened once (well, beating a downed man to death with a shield) so impresses the Wolf that he only ever refers to Tyrion as Shield-slayer after he learns of it, where other characters get various levels of disrespect or insults.

Kingdom Hearts:
Goofy and Vexen. Goofy typically uses bashing attacks with the broad side of his shield. Vexen, on the other hand, uses the sharp edges of his shield when he attacks, making his shield almost like a sword at times.
In the first game, Sora can dabble in this by selecting the Dream Shield in the tutorial. Goofy can also wield said shield in the same game and in 358/2 Days.
The Counter Shield formchange in III is designed for, well, counterattacking, but Sora can smack enemies around with it just fine as well.

City of Heroes has the Shield Defence powerset. As the name implies, the set is almost entirely defensive; however, it includes the Shield Charge power, a cone attack which deals some hefty damage and has a high chance of Knock Back. In addition, using the base attack "Brawl" with a shield in hand will sometimes cause the player to backhand a foe with his shield.

The Vanguard bloodline of Bloodline Champions has an ability called Shield Slam, dashing a bit to swing with their shield, knocking back hit enemies and reducing their ability to damage or heal. This is also the logical conclusion as to why hitting them in melee when they are using their Reflect ability (in which they duck behind their shield for the duration) stuns the attacker.
