Dimane is a mountainous village situated in the Northern region in Lebanon, in the Bsharri District. It sits at approximately 1400 m above sea level.
Dimane serves as the summer residence of the Maronite Catholic Patriarch, currently Cardinal Mar Nasrallah Boutros Sfeir. The foundation stone for the Patriarchal residence was laid on September 28, 1899.
Dimane is also known for the "Garden of the Patriachs", located in the west end of the town, and for the ancient footpath which starts behind the parish church in Dimane, and leads towards the bottom of the Kadisha Valley.
