Diane Whelan Nelson (born 1968) is an American business executive who has served as President of DC Entertainment since 2009 and as President and Chief Content Officer of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment since 2013.

Diane Nelson was raised in Newport, Rhode Island. She received a BA in Liberal Arts in 1989 from Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Communications. She met her husband Peter while both were attending Syracuse.

After working at Foote, Cone & Belding, Nelson served as Director of National Promotions for Walt Disney Records and moved to Warner Bros. in 1996, where she oversaw the cross-company brand management of the Harry Potter property. She became the Executive Vice President, Global Brand Management in May 2004.

On September 9, 2009, Warner Bros. announced that DC Comics would become a subsidiary of DC Entertainment, Inc. and Diane Nelson would serve as President of the new division. Nelson reported to Jeff Robinov, president of Warner Bros. Pictures Group. She appointed Jim Lee and Dan DiDio as Co-Publishers of DC Comics and Geoff Johns as Chief Creative Officer on February 18, 2010.

After Kevin Tsujihara became chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Entertainment, he promoted Nelson to the post of Chief Content Officer of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. In 2013, Nelson detailed some of the future film plans for DC properties and stated that a Sandman film will be "as rich as the Harry Potter universe." Later that year, Nelson announced the decision to relocate DC's offices from New York City to Burbank, California. She explained that "it was never optimal to run any business, but certainly not a creative business, on two coasts."
