Dimane (or Diman, Arabic: الديمان‎) is a mountainous village in the Bsharri District, in the North Governorate of Lebanon. It sits at approximately 1400m above sea level, overlooking the Kadisha Valley.

The inhabitants of Dimane are Lebanese and followers of the Maronite Catholic Church. The village is well known for serving as the summer residence of the Maronite Patriarch, currently Mar Béchara Pierre Raï. The foundation stone for the Patriarchal residence was laid on 28 September 1899.

Dimane is also known for the "Garden of the Patriarchs", located in the west end of the village, and for the ancient footpath which starts behind the village's parish church, St. Joseph, and leads towards the bottom of the Kadisha Valley.
