龍形傳說生物是一种巨大的蛇形传说生物,在世界各地的民间传说中都有出现。而在各地,尽管背景和象徵意義不同,但龍形傳說生物在英文中统一称为“dragon”。它在不同文化中皆可見類似形狀的傳說動物,並出现在各种文学、艺术作品以及建筑、纪念物中。例如在多数情况下,東亞龍是瑞獸,通常寓意吉祥,而西方龍則多表示邪惡。 在基督教流行之前,西方的“dragon”一直是維京人、塞爾特人和撒克遜人的民族象徵,這點和東方龍無異。隨著基督教勢力的壯大,龍和蛇有負面涵義,其在《新約全書》的啟示錄中被描繪為邪惡的“古蛇”、“魔鬼”、“撒旦”,從此西方龍就常與邪惡畫上等號,與東亞的瑞獸完全不一樣。 而在南亞文化圈也有稱為那伽的龍形傳說生物,出現在印度教傳說中,後來被佛教吸收。佛教傳入東亞後,那伽的形象亦與東亞傳統的龍混同,漢傳佛教中亦直接把那伽翻譯為「龍」。
