The Di (氐) were an ethnic group in China. They lived in areas of neighboring borders of Gansu, Qinghai, Sichuan and Shaanxi, from the 8th century BCE to the middle of 6th century BCE (approximately).
The Di were assimilated into the main Chinese population. Genetic evidence of the Di can be found in a minority of people in Sichuan.
