Flying Dragon is a fighting video game with RPG elements released for the Nintendo 64 platform in 1998, which was designed by Culture Brain and published by Natsume. The game received relatively low scores on specialized reviews at the time of its release. It had a sequel a year later "S.D. Hiryu no Ken Densetsu".

Its most notable feature was the game's main gameplay mode that featured a character progression system, in which characters advanced in levels as they become more experienced, and in which it is possible to collect money and items to equip characters with.

Flying Dragon was also an NES game released for by Culture Brain in 1989, where the player controlled a martial artist trying to recover magical scrolls stolen by the evil Tusk Soldiers. It was afforded a nominal sequel with Flying Warriors.
