My Pet Dinosaur is a 2017 Australian, adventure, family film written and directed by Matt Drummond, and produced by Megan Williams.

In an experiment gone wrong, a young boy named Jake makes a new friend and his troubled hometown is plunged into chaos. With the creature rapidly evolving every day, Jake finds it increasingly difficult to keep his new pet secret. Jake's friends and new girl Abbie realize that they are not the only ones interested in this strange, mischievous little dinosaur.

Joanne Samuel, Tiriel Mora and David Roberts make cameo appearances in the film.

Matt Drummond began writing the script to My Pet Monster in early 2015 after the success of his debut feature,Dinosaur Island. The international rights were acquired at the American Film Market by Faisal Toor from Empress Road Pictures for its newly formed Selects Division.

Rehearsals began December 2015. Principal photography commenced in 6 January 2016 in Australia, with Drummond directing. Live-action filming locations included Lithgow, Katoomba, Rydal and Portland, while CGI was done at Hive Studios International in Leura, New South Wales. Additional filming took place around the Lithgow area before transferring to Portland. Principal photography was completed on 15 February 2016.

The film is scored by Chris Wright, who also composed the score for Drummond's debut feature, Dinosaur Island (2014). Sound mix was completed by the Academy Award winning Peter Purcell, known for Mad Max: Fury Road (2015).
