Sanjak of Dibra, or Sanjak of Debar, (Turkish: Debre Sancağı, Albanian: Sanxhaku i Dibrës, Macedonian: Дебарски санџак) was one of the sanjaks of the Ottoman Empire which county town was Debar in Macedonia. The western part of its territory today belongs to Albania (Lower Dibër and Mat) and the east to the Republic of Macedonia (Reka, Debar).
Besides Debar the territory of this sanjak included part of territory of northern Albania, Krujë and areas between rivers Mat and Black Drin. In 1440 Skanderbeg was appointed as sanjakbey of Sanjak of Debar. Since mid-19th century the Sanjak of Dibra had two kazas: Debar and Reka. Before its disestablishment in 1912 it had four kazas: Debar, Reka, Mat and Lower Debar.
In 1867, the Sanjak of Debar merged with the Sanjak of Prizren and Sanjak of Scutari and became the Scutari Vilayet. In 1871 Sanjak of Debar was joined with the Sanjak of Prizren, Sanjak of Skopje and Sanjak of Niš into one vilayet, Prizren Vilayet, which became part of the Kosovo Vilayet when it was established in 1877.
