People in the world have a tendency to identify every prehistoric reptile, or even animal, as a dinosaur, especially if it is big, mighty looking and/or dangerous. The same is of course true in popular culture as well. Reasons for this tend to vary, sometimes this is caused because someone was simply trying to generalize a group of animals and other times it could because of simple naivety. Here's a list that contains some well know species that often fall in this trope: Stock Dinosaurs (Non-Dinosaurs).
This of course includes fictional species as well, but only if the source material provides enough information to either prove or at least heavily imply that said species is not a genuine dinosaur. That said if there is no proof of it not being a dinosaur, for the sake of convenience just assume that it is.
Birds note despite being descended from dinosaurs are to be seen as a Averted Trope. This is because there's two well known ways of looking at birds, one which defines them as dinosaurs and another that doesn't. Both points of view are accurate, unfortunately though they also make birds a bit of a paradox for this trope which should be avoided.

- Godzilla (2014): Justified, with Sam Brody who while watching the news declares Godzilla and the male Muto as dinosaurs, since there's no way anyone outside of Monarch could have found out what they were. Neither Godzilla or the Muto are dinosaurs since it's stated that they evolved during the Permian period, which was before the dinosaurs existed.
