Dyanne Marie Christine Bito (Dutch pronunciation: [diˈɑnə maːˈri krɪsˈtinə ˈbitoː]; born 10 August 1981) is a Dutch football defender currently playing for Telstar in the Vrouwen Eredivisie.[3] She has also played in the German Bundesliga for Heike Rheine.

Bito began her career as a forward before retraining as a right-back. She has been a member of the Dutch national team, since making her debut against Hungary in October 2000.[4] After Annemieke Kiesel's retirement, she became the most capped active international Dutch player.

In December 2009, then national coach Vera Pauw left Bito and Claudia van den Heiligenberg out of the squad ahead of a match against Belarus. The decision proved controversial and it was reported that the duo were kicked out because they were in a relationship.[5] Pauw angrily dismissed the claims, saying it was an insult to suggest they were excluded because of their relationship.[6] Van den Heiligenberg and Bito remained together[7] and both were restored to the national team by incoming national coach Roger Reijners in 2010.

In June 2013 national team coach Roger Reijners selected Bito in the squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013 in Sweden.[8]
