We report the emergence of massless Dirac fermions in moir\'{e}-reconstructed bands of bilayer graphene (BLG) aligned with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Magnetotransport measurements reveal that while the primary BLG band retains a parabolic dispersion with a Berry phase of 2π, the moir\'{e}-induced secondary bands at n/n0=±4 host chiral massless quasiparticles with a Berry phase π and a Fermi velocity vm≈3.6×105ms−1. This transition from massive to massless carriers arises from topological band reconstruction driven by the hBN moir\'{e} potential. Our results demonstrate that moir\'{e} engineering in BLG/hBN offers a powerful route to tune band topology and realize coexisting Dirac and massive fermions within a single crystalline platform.
