The dinar (/dɪˈnɑːr/, /ˈdiːnɑː(r)/) is the name of the principal currency unit in several countries near the Mediterranean Sea, with a more widespread historical use. The English word "dinar" is the transliteration of the Arabic دينار (dīnār), which was possibly borrowed via the Syriac dīnarā from the Latin dēnārius or from the Arabic root däyn meaning debt.

The modern gold dinar is a projected bullion gold coin, and as of 2019 is not issued as an official currency by any state.
