The War that Time Forgot was a comic book published by DC Comics beginning in 1960. Featuring a combination of science fiction and World War Two comic motifs, the periodical featured a group of American soldiers, stranded on a uncharted island during the Pacific War which they discover is populated by dinosaurs.

The War that Time Forgot was created by Robert Kanigher, who wrote and edited the book, and by artists Ross Andru and Mike Esposito. They continued to compose most of the stories during the comic's run.

The series ran for 137 issues until the Feb-March 1968 installment, when Enemy Ace, a World War I German pilot became the focus of the book, and the dinosaur plotline was retired.

In the 1980's, DC briefly revisited The War that Time Forgot in a run as one of the features in Weird War Tales. Dinosaur Island was also featured in Tim Truman's 1998 mini-series, Guns of the Dragon.
