To dump only specific tables from a database, name them on the command line following the database name:

mysqldump my_database table1 table3 table5 > dump.sql

To dump only specific tables from multiple database, use mysqldump again, but append to the end of the previously created file:

mysqldump my_database2 table1 table3 table5 >> dump.sql Note the >> sign
