This list of nicknamed dinosaur fossils is a list of fossil dinosaur specimens given informal names or nicknames, in addition to their institutional catalogue numbers. It excludes informal appellations that are purely descriptive (e.g., "the Fighting Dinosaurs", "the Trachodon Mummy").
For a list of non-dinosaur fossil specimens, see List of non-dinosaur specimens with nicknames.
