This is a list of episodes in Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl, aired in Japan as Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl (ポケットモンスター ダイヤモンド&パール Poketto Monsutā Daiyamondo & Pāru), the tenth season of the Pokémon animated series, covering the continuing adventures of series protagonist Ash Ketchum and his best friend Brock.

The Japanese opening theme song is "Together" by Fumie Akiyoshi. The Japanese ending theme song is "Kimi no Soba de (Hikari no Theme)" (君のそばで 〜ヒカリのテーマ〜 By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~) by Grin. The English opening theme song is "Diamond and Pearl" by "Breeze" Barczynski.
The division between seasons of Pokémon is based on the English version openings of each episode, and may not reflect the actual production season. The English episode numbers are based on their first airing in the United States either in syndication on Cartoon Network, or in Canada on the YTV Television Network. Other English-speaking nations largely followed either this order or the Japanese order. Subsequent airings of the English version follow the original Japanese order, except in the case of episodes which are no longer shown in English. This series uses game music from Pokémon Yellow and Pokémon Gold and Silver. The series began regularly airing in the United States on June 4, 2007 and ended with the fifty-first and final episode of season ten, "Smells Like Team Spirit", first aired on Cartoon Network on February 1, 2008. This is the final season of Pokémon dubbed in association with TAJ Productions.
The series began airing first-run episodes in Japan on September 28, 2006 and ended on October 25, 2007. The first three episodes of the tenth season were broadcast in the United States as a special on April 20, 2007 back-to-back in the same format as the original Japanese airing.
