Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger (恐竜戦隊ジュウレンジャー, Kyōryū Sentai Jūrenjā^?, ) is a Japanese tokusatsu television series and the sixteenth installment in the long-running Super Sentai franchise of superhero programs. Produced by Toei and Bandai, it aired on TV Asahi from February 21, 1992 to February 12, 1993, with a total of 50 episodes. It was the first Sentai series to be adapted into an installment of the American Power Rangers series; footage from all 50 episodes was extensively used for the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The title Toei gives the series for international distribution is Galaxy Rangers.

Cast members from the series reprised their roles for the 2014 film, Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger vs. Go-Busters: The Great Dinosaur Battle! Farewell Our Eternal Friends.

At the 2014 San Diego Comic Con, Shout! Factory announced that they would be releasing the entire Zyuranger series with English subtitles on DVD in North America. On February 17, 2015, "Super Sentai Zyuranger: The Complete Series" was released on DVD in North America. In addition on January 23, 2016, Shout streamed the series on their website.

Five young warriors from the ancient civilization of Dinosaur-evolved Humans (恐竜人類, Kyōryū Jinrui^?) are awakened in the present day after 170 million years of suspended animation when their sworn enemy, Bandora the Witch, is inadvertently released from her magical container on Planet Nemesis by two astronauts. The five warriors, the Zyurangers, must summon the power of mechanical-looking deities known as the Guardian Beasts, each modeled after a different prehistoric beast, in order to protect mankind from Bandora's evil forces. The sixth warrior of the Zyurangers, Burai the Dragon Ranger, later becomes involved with the conflict between the Zyurangers and Bandora's forces.
