The smallest dinosaur known is the Parvicursor remotus, which was ony 12 to 15 inches long and is estimated to have weighed 4.8 and 5.7 ounces. Parvicursor was a tiny, bipedal feathered theropod dinosaur. It was an Alvarezsaurid, so it only had a single finger, with a claw. It may have used that claw to dig into termite mounds. To escape predators, they would have run quite fast.

The bee hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) is "the smallest dinosaur that ever lived". Of course your question only applies to non-avian dinosaurs. For over a century the smallest known dinosaur was the 3 foot Compsognathus, otfen compared to chickens in size. The discoveries in China for the last 20 years have revealed many smaller dinosaurs.

The smallest dinosaur is?
The smallest dinosaurs were just slightly larger than a chicken; Compsognathus ("pretty jaw") was 1 m (3 ft) long and probably weighed about 2.5 kg (about 6.5 lb). They lived during the Jurassic Period. Mussaurus ("mouse lizard") was claimed as the smallest dinosaur, but it is now known to be the hatchling of a dinosaur type that was much larger than Compsognathus when fully grown. If birds are advanced dinosaurs, then the smallest dinosaur today would be the hummingbird!
