Diamond Dave is the sixth full-length studio album by David Lee Roth, vocalist of Van Halen. It was released in 2003 on Magna Carta.
The album was recorded at Henson Recording Studios in Hollywood, California. It consists mostly of covers of classic hard rock and blues songs, and has an overall laidback bluesy sound. Two of the tracks—"Bad Habits" and a remake of the 1978 Van Halen song "Ice Cream Man"—had been recorded in 1996, but were not released at that time.
