In some of Neal Asher’s books there is mention of a Dyson Sphere being constructed.
If you want to have a go of making one yourself, there is Dyson Sphere Program.
EDIT: “Bowl of Heaven” is another “not exactly a Dyson Sphere” novel, it takes place on a structure that is half a Dyson Sphere. Co-written by Gary Benford and Larry Niven. (author of “Ringworld”)

TNG S06E04 “Relics”
Other than that, I can’t think of any.
Yeah, I remember that one. But it’s just inside the Enterprise and on the outside of the sphere. So weird that there’s nothing with an actual sphere.

They get pulled in in the second part of that episode, but it’s more a “how do we escape” plot than a “look at this cool Dyson sphere” one.
That is the episode that introduced me to the concept.
In Hamilton’s Night’s Dawn trilogy the Mosdva have constructed a partial dyson sphere (interlinked diskcities)
