Dinosaur (Japanese: 恐（きょう）竜（りゅう） Kyōryū) is a monster Type. Dinosaur monsters are aesthetically themed after their historical namesake, and gameplay-wise typically revolve around high-ATK monsters, offensive Monster Effects, Special Summoning high-Level Main Deck monsters, and effects that destroy friendly Dinosaur monsters for advantage. Dinosaur monsters are predominantly EARTH, but do have many non-EARTH members; notably, WIND Dinosaurs typically resemble pterosaurs.

Notable Dinosaur monsters include "Babycerasaurus", "Petiteranodon", "Miscellaneousaurus", "Ultimate Conductor Tyranno", "Tyranno Infinity", "Dinowrestler Pankratops", "Animadorned Archosaur", "Scrap Raptor", and "Souleating Oviraptor". Notable Dinosaur support include "Fossil Dig", "Lost World", "Double Evolution Pill", and "Survival's End".

In the anime and manga, Dinosaur cards are most notably played by Rex Raptor, Tyranno Hassleberry, Scorch, Chills, George Gore, Professor Diggs, and Tracker, the latter of whom used the first known Dinosaur Maximum Monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel.

In Falsebound Kingdom, Dinosaur monsters are treated as Dragon monsters.
