Dragões ou dragos (do grego δράκων, drákōn) são criaturas presentes na mitologia de diversos povos e civilizações, marcadamente na tradição chinesa e europeia. São representados como animais de grandes dimensões, normalmente de aspecto reptiliano (semelhantes a imensos lagartos ou serpentes), podendo conter asas, plumas, poderes mágicos, hálito de fogo, etc.. A palavra "dragão" provém do termo grego drákōn, usado para designar grandes serpentes. Há grande variedade de dragões em muitos mitos e lendas, bem como em narrativas modernas, nas quais eles assumem aspectos variados. Possuem função e simbologia distintos. Podem ser fontes sobrenaturais de sabedoria e força; ou, simplesmente, feras destruidoras.
