Diran is a 7,266 metres (23,839 ft) mountain in the Karakoram range, in Pakistan. It is the 93rd highest mountain in the world.

The first people to reach the top were Rainer Goeschl, Rudolph Pischinger and Hanns Schell, in 1968. While it is not thought to be hard to climb, it is dangerous as avalanches are common.
