Diran (Urdu: دیرن) is a mountain in the Karakoram range in Bagrot Valley, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. This 7,266-metre (23,839 ft), pyramid-shaped mountain lies to the east of Rakaposhi (7,788m).

Diran was first climbed in 1968 by three Austrian mountaineers: Rainer Goeschl, Rudolph Pischinger and Hanns Schell. Earlier attempts by a British expedition in 1958,[2] a German expedition in 1959, and an Austrian expedition in 1964 had been unsuccessful, driven back by bad weather, deep snow and avalanches.[3][4]
