According the Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs by Gregory S. Paul, the biggest dinosaurs (which I'd consider 25 m/80 ft +) are:
Hudiesaurus -- 25m/80ft Mamenchisaurus (M. sinocanadorum) -- 35m/115ft Turiasaurus -- 30m/100ft Barosaurus/Tornieria -- 25m/80ft Diplodocus -- 25m/80ft Seismosaurus -- 32m/105ft Amphiocoelias -- 60m/150ft (maximum) Supersaurus -- 35m/110ft Sauroposeidon -- 27m/90ft Ruyangosaurus -- 30m/100ft Argentinosaurus -- 30m/100ft Puertosaurus -- 30m/100ft Futalognkosaurus -- 30m/100ft Pellegrinosaurus -- 25m/80ft "Antarctosaurus" giganteus -- 30+m/100+ft
Many of these sauropods are known from minimal remains, so most of these lengths are speculative.
And just for fun some other dinosaurs that were the largest, or one of the largest, members of their group:
Spinosaurus -- 14m/45ft (greater lengths are possible) Giganotosaurus -- 13m/42ft Carcharodontosaurus -- 12m/40ft Tyrannotitan -- 13m/42ft Tyrannosaurus -- 12m/40ft Therizinosaurus -- at least 10m/33ft Plateosaurus -- 9m/30ft Ankylosaurus -- 7m/23ft Triceratops/Eotriceratops/Torosaurus -- 8.5m/28ft Iguanodon -- 8m/26ft Zhuchengosaurus -- 16.5m/55ft Edmontosaurus/Anatosaurus/Anatotitan -- 9m/30ft Saurolophus -- 12m/40ft
