Di-Dar is an album recorded by Chinese Cantopop singer Faye Wong when she was based in Hong Kong.

Released in December 1995, towards the end of her recording contract with Cinepoly Records, this is Faye Wong's last Cantonese album.

Di-Dar (there is no Chinese name) mixes a yodelling style with a touch of Indian and Middle Eastern flavor. Having composed several songs in previous albums expressing a desire to release herself, Wong was now finally fed up with the hypocritical industry. The songs express feelings of hollowness, languor, apathy and desperation, and the related music videos show her doing all kinds of meaningless things, playing and dancing by herself, apparently bored to death. Nevertheless, this album was a success, partly because it was so different from the mainstream Cantopop music. Ironically, it contained a couple of very traditional romantic songs which topped the singles charts.

In October 2008, the Hong Kong magazine Ming Pao Weekly asked HK music journalist Fung Lai-Chee to name what he considered as the 40 classic Cantopop albums of the last 40 years. Di-Dar featured at number 27 in the list; he described it as "The best psychedelic and best-selling avant-garde work in Cantonese pop, with songs that are self-centred, ignoring market and others' work. Abstruse, obscure, mystery…"
