There are reasons most vertebrates have tails. They can propel you through the water, free up your other limbs for multitasking, are great for balancing, can bait predator and prey alike, are good for showing your intentions, and they can swat flies. Why stop there? If it works on a small pest, why not a larger one? You may not have the thumbs necessary for cracking a whip or swinging a chain, but your tail can be just as good.
Prehensile Tails can be flexible enough to hit things, but not all of them are powerful enough to be effective deterrents. For added power, some tails have a weapon attached. See Beware My Stinger Tail for those. Also compare with Combat Tentacles.

The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning: When you fight Cynder as the final boss, one of her main attacks is a tail whip. She also uses her tail in a few melee attacks when you play as her in Dawn of the Dragon, but in this case she slashes with the blade on the tip of her tail.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie:
Just like the games, Mario uses his tail to attack with the Tanooki Suit power-up. Including a tail attack on a Banzai Bill's eye.
Bowser also does this to Mario in the final battle, sending him flying through the pizzeria window and into the wall.

The Bikaku-type kagune in Tokyo Ghoul is essentially a tail, and described as the most balanced of the four types. It isn't as dramatic or powerful as the other types, but in exchange lacks any distinct weaknesses. Nishio uses his to strike at Kaneki from a distance, as well as wrapping it around his leg to make his kicks more powerful. In the Prequel Jack there's another bikaku type, Lantern, who uses theirs to, not only attack from a distance, but also to propel themself forwards and into the air.

Monster Hunter:
Almost every monster with a tail of a decent length, like Rathian and Rathalos, will use this in some manner; a simple Spin Attack being the most common form of it. A common means of reducing the threat is by cutting it off.
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite: Nargacuga is capable of doing a deadly tail slam that has a hitbox twice the size of the tail.
Monster Hunter Generations: Glavenus is built around this; its tail amounts to an inbuilt BFS made of extra-hard ore, so naturally getting slapped by that thing would really hurt. It can even heat the tail up by scraping its teeth on it!

Redwall:
Otters frequently use their tails as a weapon; the strongest and most skilled can knock an enemy unconscious with a single slap from their tail.
Cluny, the first Big Bad in the series, combines this with Beware My Stinger Tail. He wears a poisoned barb on the end of his tail which he uses as a lethal weapon. Also, shortly after his first appearance, he gives one of his underlings a tail-lashing for insubordination.

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Tyrannosaurus Dinozord and the Dragonzord do this a lot, the Dragonzord especially. It once tail-whipped a giant-size monster so hard the monster was sent flying from the seabed onto the beach. To make things really suck for the monsters, the Dragonzord's tail has a high-speed drill on the end.
Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger: Zyuoh TheWorld's "Beast Unleashed" mode activates three kinds of Anatomy Arsenal, including a crocodile tail on his right arm that lets him do this.

Pathfinder: Tail slap attacks are common additions for creatures with long tails. Havoc dragons are especially well-suited to using their long tails as lashing whips, and can use them to trip their foes. Old havoc dragons gain additionally powerful tail attacks, which deal three times the damage they would under normal conditions.

Battle for Wesnoth: The campaign unit Merman Brawlers can use their fish tails to hit and stun their enemies, slowing them. Also, the downloadable setting "Era of Magic" has the lizardfolk's Chaos Riders, who can use their Chaos Wyverns to perform a "tail sweep" at the enemies.

A somewhat different example of this shows up in a particular arc of Gintama, where Katsura and Gintoki have been turned into cats, and both them end up tearing off their tails and using them as improvised weapons. The former somehow manages to slice through a steel cage to free Gintoki and Kondo, but when he uses it against some Mooks, it's just a blunt weapon. One is probably better off not knowing what Kondo (who's been turned into a gorilla) decides to improvise as a weapon, though...

The Land Before Time:
Littlefoot's mother in the first movie (see the dinosaur Real Life example below). And not just her, all adult sauropods in the franchise use their tail as their preferred method of combat.
And then Dil does the same to Ichy in Journey Through the Mists, sending him flying off into the distance.
Shortly before, Spike does this to Ichy, sending him into Dil's mouth.

In the MonsterVerse movie Kong: Skull Island, the Skullcrawler whips its tail into the soldier who's using a flamethrower on it, the force in the blow knocking the man clean off his feet and sending him flying dozens of meters in the air. The Skullcrawler also shortly afterwards slams its tail into the ground and creates a shockwave powerful enough to throw a nearby soldier off the ground x3 his height.

In Animorphs andalites fight by attacking their opponent with their tail, at the end of which there is a long blade. Male andalites tend to have a larger tail blade than female ones. It later turns out that the tail blades have an important cultural meaning for the andalites.
Hork-Bajirs also have a tail, which is not only very muscular but also equipped with blades. However, since the tail is very short, they can only attack opponents who are right behind them.
Late in the plot, a girl named Colette also gains the strength to turn into animals. She prefers to fight as a crocodile, and also beats her opponents with her long, strong tail.

Kamen Rider OOO's Putotyra Combo gives him a beefy Tyrannosaurus tail with which to smack enemies around; its Finishing Move involves freezing the enemy solid then smashing them with said tail.

In My Hero Academia, Mashirao Ojiro's power manifests itself as a large, prehensile tail. He uses it in combination with his martial arts skills, usually in the form of a tail slap. Given that his tail is much thicker and more muscular than his arms or legs, it packs quite the whallop.

Beerus, introduced in "Battle of Gods" and reintroduced in Dragon Ball Super, has a tail similar to Frieza's but somewhat less brawny and more whiplike. Because of his massive power he doesn't need to use it, but can if it suits him. In episode 18, Beerus hits Goku with his tail in his sleep while he and Vegeta are trying to change his sheets.

Pokémon:
The move "Tail Whip" has existed since Gen 1, but merely lowers the opponent's defense without dealing any damage, and flavor text describes it as a cute gesture that puts the enemy off-guard rather than an actual attack. The Japanese name of the attack is actually "tail wag".
The former Secret Art of Minccino and Cinccino is named Tail Slap. They usually use their tails to sweep away dust, but at a high enough level can use it offensively in combat. In addition, the moves Iron Tailnote which involves the tail becoming encased in metal, Dragon Tail, Poison Tail and Aqua Tail follow this trope.
A variation: Tauros has whip-like tails, but instead of swatting others it swats itself to psyche up.
Some moves like Pound and Slam, can fall into this trope depending on the Pokémon using them.

Godzilla:
Godzilla will sometimes attack this way in his movies. This is how Godzilla kills the male Muto in Godzilla (2014), coupled with Impaled with Extreme Prejudice (since it was slammed into a skyscraper and got a support beam through its spine.
Godzilla Vs Spacegodzilla: Spacegodzilla's long tail lets him grab and throw things, something his short arms can't help with him.
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.: Kiryu is the only Mechagodzilla incarnation to pull off the attack due to actually having a long, fully functional tail. He flung his metallic tail at Godzilla that sent him crashing into a building.
In the novelization of the MonsterVerse movie Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), Mokele-Mbembe's tail takes up two-thirds of his body length and is a devastating weapon — slicing clean through a pyramid.

Final Fantasy X has a few bosses:
The Sanctuary Keeper has a Tail Sweep attack that will both damage the entire party and delay everyone's next turn. (A bonus boss called Th'uban is nearly identical. The attack is instead called Condemn, which not only does heavy damage and delay, but also removes all beneficial status effects from the party.)
The Spectral Keeper has a Berserk Tail that will damage a single character and inflict Berserk at a very bad time. The attack could count as both a slap and a sting.

Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z has Goku, Giran, Korin, Raditz, and Frieza do this. Usually for comedy in early on (Saiyan tails are short, skinny little furry things that - without proper training - cause serious pain if even grabbed), but when a villain attacks with their tail, it's usually very serious (Frieza's tail is long, thick, and muscular enough to deal serious damage with a strike, or be used to constrict and asphyxiate someone, while Cell's tail, in addition to being similarly powerful, is tipped with a syringe that allows him to impale people and slowly absorb them).
Beerus, introduced in "Battle of Gods" and reintroduced in Dragon Ball Super, has a tail similar to Frieza's but somewhat less brawny and more whiplike. Because of his massive power he doesn't need to use it, but can if it suits him. In episode 18, Beerus hits Goku with his tail in his sleep while he and Vegeta are trying to change his sheets.

In Pokémon: The Series, Ash's Charmeleon, Giant Onix, Crystal Onix, Nurse Joy's Gyarados, and the pink Nidoking all - on separate occasions - whip Team Rocket with their tails to send them blasting off.
This is how Pikachu defeats Lt. Surge's Raichu in Pokémon: The Original Series.
In Advanced Generation, Pikachu learns the Iron Tail move, where it charges its tail (in later episodes the tail has an actual iron effect to it) and whips the enemy with it, a technique Pikachu uses frequently afterwards.

It's hard to notice, but Renamon whips one of the Flybeemon with her tail in Digimon Tamers. Also, as Kyubimon she whips Vajramon with her nine tails later on.
Earlier Allomon does this to her.
Mihiramon's main attack is Samurai Tiger Tail, which he uses on Kyubimon and Gargomon. He uses his Armored Tiger Tail against War Growlmon who blocks most of the hits before grabbing him by it.

The Legend of Spyro:
The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning: When you fight Cynder as the final boss, one of her main attacks is a tail whip. She also uses her tail in a few melee attacks when you play as her in Dawn of the Dragon, but in this case she slashes with the blade on the tip of her tail.
The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night: The Elemental Dragon's main melee attack is a broad sweeping blow with its tail.
The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon: The Golem does this as well when you are fighting some orcs at the beginning of his boss level.

In an early chapter of Kaiju Girl Caramelise, Kuroe undergoes a Partial Transformation into Harugon in which she starts to grow a tail. Later, after helping with the clean-up following a P.E. session she awkwardly sat out to hide said tail, she gets locked in the gym closet by several bullies jealous of her relationship with Arata Minami. Arata himself eventually arrives to free her, but before he can fully open the door, Kuroe slaps it back closed before he can see her in her current state.
