Zaza, kird, kirmanc eller dimili är en folkgrupp i östra Turkiet som talar dialekten zazaiska. De bor i huvudsak i östra Anatolien, bland annat i provinserna Adıyaman (Gerger), Aksaray, Batman, Bingöl, Diyarbakır (Amed), Elazığ (Xarpêt), Erzurum, Erzincan (Erzıngan), Gümüşhane, Kars, Malatya, Muş, Şanlıurfa (Rıha), Sivas (Sêvaz) och Tunceli (Dêrsim). Zazaisk kultur och språk uppvisar en del likheter med andra iranska folkgruppers, däribland gilakernas, och persernas. Folkgruppen betraktar sig själva generellt som tillhörande folkgruppen kurder och beskrivs av akademiker ofta som Zaza kurder.
