Dior Eluchíl is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. He is a character in The Silmarillion, which was published posthumously in 1977. The material in The Silmarillion was written over a period of many years, from the 1920s to the early 1970s.

Dior was the son of Beren and Lúthien, and the heir to the throne of Elu Thingol as King of Doriath. He was born in the year 470 of the Years of the Sun in the green land of Ossiriand. Dior was the first of the Half-elven, though he was also part Maia, Melian being his grandmother. He was also called Eluchíl which means "Heir of Elu", Ausir, "The Wealthy", and Aranel, "The Noble Elf". His name probably means "Successor". Furthermore, he was hailed as "Dior the beautiful" apparently since his mother had been the most beautiful of all Elves and Men. Dior is remembered as a crucial character of the Elder Days, since not only was he the only son of Beren and Lúthien Tinúviel and the first Half-elf ever, but also the father of Elwing who married Eärendil and brought about the War of Wrath in which Morgoth was defeated. It was she who gave birth to Elrond and Elros, both of whom had a major impact on the later ages of Middle-earth. His story revolves around the Ruin of Doriath.
