Diran () is a mountain in the Karakoram range in Bagrot Valley, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. This , pyramid-shaped mountain lies to the east of Rakaposhi (7,788m).
The first ascent of Diran was in 1968, in alpine-style climbing by three Austrian mountaineers: Rainer Goeschl, Rudolph Pischinger and Hanns Schell. Earlier attempts by a British expedition in 1958, a German expedition in 1959, and an Austrian expedition in 1964 had been unsuccessful, driven back by bad weather, deep snow and avalanches.
