That depends on what you mean. The first Dinosaur discovered by scientists and named was Megalosaurus. But many believe that ancient civilizations based myths of dragons, griffens, sea serpents, Gods, etc, on Dinosaur fossils. The first Dinosaur to appear, as in the oldest Dinosaur, was Herrarasaurus.

Why was the skeleton of an iguanodon make history?
For thousands of years, dinosaur bones were attributed to dragons and other myths, and people never tried to truly understand them. In the 1800's, the teeth of Iguanodon were among the first dinosaur fossils to be found and then studied by scientists. Later, a large group of Iguanodon fossils was discovered in Bernissart, Belgium. At least 38 different Iguanodon skeletons were found. These skeletons were among the first nearly complete dinosaur skeletons to ever be found, and they helped to greatly improve the understanding of dinosaurs from giant lizards to very unique reptiles.
What was the first dinosaur bones found?
People have been finding dinosaur fossils for hundreds of years, probably even thousands of years. There are references to "dragon" bones found in Wucheng, Sichuan, China (written by Chang Qu) over 2,000 years ago; these were probably dinosaur fossils. Much later, in 1676, a huge thigh bone (femur) was found in England by Reverend Plot. It was thought that the bone belonged to a "giant," but was probably from a dinosaur. A report of this find was published by R. Brookes in 1763. The first dinosaur to be described scientifically was Megalosaurus in 1824, by William Buckland. Buckland (1784-1856) was a British fossil hunter and clergyman who discovered some Megalosaurus fossils in 1819 and named the reptile in 1824. It was the first dinosaur ever described scientifically and first theropod dinosaur discovered (this is all in hindsight, because the dinosaurs had not yet been recognized as a separate taxonomic group - the word dinosaur hadn't even been invented yet).
