"Didi" (Arabic: دي دي‎‎) is a song written and performed by Algerian artist Khaled, released in 1992. The song was the lead single from the singer's eponymous album Khaled.

"Didi" peaked at number nine in the French Singles Chart and remained on the "Top 50" chart for 20 weeks, making it the first tune sung in Arabic to chart in France. It also topped the singles charts in Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.

The music video was directed by Philippe Gautier.

On April 3, 2015, Khaled was convicted with plagiarism, for Didi, a musical composition recorded by Cheb Rabah (born Rabah Zerradine) in 1988. Cheb Rabah has also been compensated by Cheb Mami for plagiarizing his texts.

The Moroccan-Belgian singer Brahim released a version of the song with added English language lyrics. The song reached #10 on the Ultratop 50 Belgian Singles Chart in 2005.

In a second release destined for the Moroccan market and the Belgian francophone markets (Wallonia), Brahim added a French language rap section featuring the artist Nessa.

The German duo Milk & Honey released an all English language version with completely new lyrics and arrangement. It appeared in the band's 2007 album Elbi and was the second single release from the album after the initial "Habibi (je t'aime)". A separate EP was also released.

The song has been covered in Turkish by Tarkan for his debut album Yine Sensiz, also covered in Persian by Andy for his album Laili, and in Greek as Giorgos Alkaios's debut single Ti Ti. In the 1990s it was also covered in Albanian as "Ti më bën xheloz" by the Band Ilirët.
